From Davina Bell and Waterstones Award-winning illustrator of The
Girls, Jenny Lovlie, comes a beautifully diverse and inclusive
picture book perfect for any aspiring dancer. There is a lot to
learn about being a ballerina. It is hard work and can seem silly
at times. If you fall over, don't panic. You don't have to be
perfect! But when you walk out on the stage, it will feel like
magic and fireworks and Christmas-tree lights in your tummy, and
you'll know that no matter what, you're a real ballerina. Also by

Streatfeild, Into the Spotlight is a magical new story from
bestselling author and acclaimed performer Carrie Hope Fletcher.
Brilliant Aunt Maude visits seasides the world over and has become
quite the pebble collector. Pebbles of all shapes, sizes and
colours and even one that looked a bit like Elvis Presley if you
squinted a bit. Her favourite pebbles, however, are Marigold, Mabel
and Morris. One by one, and by strange and unusual ways, each child
arrives at the stage door of Brilliant Aunt Maude's theatre in the
heart of London, home to an extraordinary cast of performers.
There's Dante the miraculous magician, Petunia the storyteller and
seventy-year-old contortionists - the Fortune Sisters! But ticket
sales are dwindling and the curtains might have to close - for the
final time. Until one day, as the Pebbles are exploring the many
nooks and crannies of the theatre, they stumble upon something they
were never meant to find . . . something that just might save the
theatre after all . . .
