Zuri Ray Tries Ballet: A Fun Picture Book About a Spunky Girl and Friendship for Kids (Ages 4-8)

From New York Times bestselling author Tami Charles and rising star illustrator Sharon Sordo comes the first book in a charming picture book series about a fun, spunky girl with a huge heart! Meet Zuri Ray. She's always willing to go the extra mile for family and friends and is up for any challenge. At least, that was before her best friend, Jessie, asked her to join a ballet camp. Now Zuri isn't sure if she's up for everything. While Jessie can't wait to chassé and plié while wearing tight hair buns and frilly tutus, that doesn't sound like Zuri at all! But she can't let her friend down. Maybe classical ballet just needs a new spin . . . Perfect for fans of Fancy Nancy and Fresh Princess, Zuri Ray Tries Ballet encourages kids to follow their hearts and stay true to themselves! What happens when a girl who marches to her own beat joins a class that’s all about following the rules? A Sweet Friendship Story: Zuri and her best friend Jessie learn that you don’t have to like the same things to be the best of friends. Celebrating Individuality: From a fabulous dress-up trunk to adding a little soccer-inspired zing to her chassé, Zuri shows that the best way to dance is your own way. A New Spin on Ballet: Perfect for any child who feels nervous about fitting in at a new class, whether it’s dance, sports, or school. Perfect for Reading Aloud: With vibrant illustrations and an energetic story, this picture book is a wonderful choice for story time at home or in the classroom.
