It was such an honor to be a part of the event and meet the author. I grew up on Angelina Ballerina books. To think that 15 years ago I was reading Angelina Ballerina and collecting the dolls... and children today are doing the same thing!!
The series is truly a classic. The morning before the book signing I was determined to find my Angelina Ballerina books and dolls. I desperately wanted to get these items signed by the author! I tore apart the basement hunting for these items, but my search failed.
At the book signing Angelina Ballerina made an appearance and danced with all the children. Then while Katharine Holabird read her most recent story Angelina acted it out in dance! It is great to see a book that teaches young children about the arts and incorporates it into everyday life.

Angelina Ballerina has developed into so much more than just a book. From a TV show, to DVDs, games and even a a musical beginning October 2, 2010!!
The Vital Theater, in New York City, is producing Angelina Ballerina The Musical. The musical will be in Canada in January 2011. Finally, tour dates are too be announced!
For those of you who are not familiar with Angelina Ballerina it is about a young mouse who has her heart set on becoming a prima ballerina. While some encourage Angelina to follow her dreams others doubt her. To find out if Angelina follows her heart and accomplishes her dreams you will have to read or see the play at Vital Theater!
