This Christmas, join a young girl and her grandmother as they
embark on a holiday adventure to see The Nutcracker together! Her
grandmother, known as Grand Jete, was once a prima ballerina and
danced in The Nutcracker herself, and now she's sharing the magic
of this special ballet. Former prima ballerina Allegra Kent and
bestselling Fancy Nancy illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser
collaborate to create an inspiring and festive tale for the
littlest dancers and Nutcracker fans everywhere. Grand Jete is an
expert on everything elegant and makes sure to always model the
proper etiquette of a poised ballerina. Her granddaughter wants to
be just like her one day. Take a bow! Straight spine. Look your
best. And always carry flowers! Follow the pair as they embark on
an unforgettable trip to their favorite theater to see The
Nutcracker-sharing the spirit of ballet wherever they go. "The
detailed illustrations, featuring the New York City Ballet's
Nutcracker costumes and sets, are joyous and bubbly." - Kirkus
Reviews "An easy addition to holiday collections, certain to appeal
to Nutcracker fans and balletomanes." -School Library Journal
"Numerous engaging pictures will entice readers to take the time to
pour over...this charming story." -Booklist "Glasser's kinetic,
wispy artwork...warmly pays homage to ballet form onstage and off,
capturing the text's free-spirited, memory-centered vibe."
-Publishers Weekly "When the little girl visits her
grandmother...dance infuses their ordinary moments." -Horn Book
