Ballet Besties: Indu's Time to Shine

English

By (author): Chitra Soundar Yasmine Naghdi Paula Franco

Illustrated by: Paula Franco

'This bubbly, inclusive story, filled with meticulous detail, will be a winner for 7+ dance fanatics' - Guardian, on Ballet Besties: Yara's Chance to Dance

Pirouette your way into the Shimmer & Shine dance studio, where the ballet besties are ready to put on a show!


Indu loves learning ballet at Shimmer & Shine, her local community dance school. Unlike her friends, she doesn't want to be a principal dancer when she grows up, and she's a bit scared of being on stage, but it's still one of her favourite hobbies.

Until Miss Diamond announces that this term they'll be putting on a performance of Cinderella! Suddenly everyone's talking about what lead role they want and how fun it will be to dance for an audience, and Indu is feeling nervous and left out.

What role will she audition for? Will her friends understand her worries? And will she ever be able to conquer her stage fright?

A fun, inclusive and accessible series that will bring the joy of dance to young readers aged 6+!
