Dress the fairies for dancing with elegant swans, waltzing with
swirling snowflakes and having their wishes granted by their fairy
godmother in this magical addition to the best-selling Sticker
Dolly Dressing series.
In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the true
story of ballet dancer Anna Pavlova. Little Anna fell in love with
ballet after watching a performance with her mother. At the age of
just nine-years-old, she auditioned for the famous Imperial Ballet!
But... she was rejected. The set-back didn't stop Anna - she
auditioned again a year later and was accepted into the company.
Although ballet was her passion, it didn't always come easily to
her, and she worked fiercely to become the best. After her training
was complete, she performed across Russia and later formed her own
company with which she toured the world. The story of Anna Pavlova,
one of the greatest dancers to have ever lived, teaches us that
with hard work, our talents can take us wherever we want to go.
This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and
extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with
historical photos and a detailed profile of the star's life. Little
