Allegra Kent, Ballerina Swan
One of the New York City Ballet's most celebrated ballerinas, Ms. Kent reads from her first children's book, Ballerina Swan, illustrated by Caldecott Medalist Emily Arnold McCully, and talks about her creative process. From her pond in the city park, Sophie, a swan, loves to watch the dancers in Madam Myrtle's Studio. When a welcoming teacher permits her to join them, she can only hope to play her perfect role - in Swan Lake.Kirkus Reviews calls it "an enchanting tale for all."
