The New York City Ballet is known for showcasing classic stories of the ballet with their trademark stylish and modern sensibility. For the first time, this beloved Christmas story is told based on George Balanchine's quintessential production. The storyline of this gorgeous picture book mimics the choreography of the famous ballet and the illustrations are inspired by the backdrops and scenery from the actual production. The New York City Ballet's production of The Nutcracker is considered to be "the" leading production in the world. A Christmas tradition for many families, now readers who can't travel to New York will be able to experience this colorful celebratory story. A must-have for every aspiring ballerina's library and a holiday tradition for every family's bookshelf.

"The 826NYC Review" collects exceptional writing by students at McSweeney's 826NYC writing lab, as well as by students from across the five boroughs of New York. The works collected here range from poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, and showcase the dazzling talent of these young voices. Past issues included a story about miniature jumping dinosaurs, a choose-your-own adventure involving a cat named Excellent Phil, space-monkey fables, and pirate plays. "Issue Three" is an all-new collection of stories, poems, plays, and interviews covering similar (and not-so-similar) subject matter.

"Sonny Paine," named after a New York homeless man who gained notoriety (and a "New York Times" profile) begging on the F train, returns with a new issue of student-written stories and nonfiction. Based on their work in 826NYC's famous writing lab, the students take on a bracingly wide range of topics, cracking wise on everything from Coney Island to lighting bugs to a horrible accident involving fireworks on the Gowanus Canal. Typical of the entries is Dylan Suher's compelling short story "IED." Set during "the whole winter of the great bomb," this ambitious story offers fresh, grimly comic insights into "block-bred racism," teenage angst, and the urban alienations peculiar to a post-9/11 world. At once sharp, irreverent, and heartfelt, "Sonny Paine, Issue Two" -- edited, designed, and created entirely by high school students -- presents a new generation of literary lights.

In this stunning follow-up to the bestselling The Nutcracker and The Sleeping Beauty, the New York City Ballet presents another timeless tale for a modern ballet lover with Swan Lake.

This lavishly illustrated book follows the storyline, choreography, costumes, and sets of the New York City Ballet’s production of Swan Lake. With beautiful art illustrated by Valeria Docampo, this magnificent retelling is a perfect gift for an aspiring ballerina or any family who wants to add this enchanting and classic tale to their library.
