Belinda the Ballerina (2001) by Amy Young .
With a daughter who loves ballet and a bagizillion books on the topic at the library, it’s hard to sort through and find the good ones. Fortunately, we stumbled across the Belinda books pretty early on.
Belinda is a hard-working dancer with a passion for ballet. Her feet, however, are quite sizable, especially for a dancer. She doesn’t mind, but the esteemed judges at an audition try to tell her otherwise. Discouraged, Belinda calls it quits for awhile, but her passion won’t let her stay still for long.
We love all the Belinda books (there are four in the series). She is kind, graceful, and best of all, has a true love of dancing.
