performance, in which Madame Amata herself is to dance the leading
role - in a costume more glittery and more gorgeous than any of the
others. The little ones have been rehearsing for months. They are
excited, nervous, and quite impossible to control! However, a few
minutes before the Grand Gala is due to start, Madame Amata has a
fall, injuring her ankle. In no time at all, the news has spread
throughout the auditorium. Surely the show cannot go ahead now! But
sitting in the audience is someone who might just be able to
help...Shiny details on every page of this beautiful boardbook
bring this touching story to life, as the young dancers discover
that there is always hope, that the show will go on, and that
thanks to their love of ballet the dance will never end.
