Ballet Shoes

SarahKate's Notes:

Originally published in 1937, this is a chapter book loved by generations. We (currently) have an aspiring professional ballerina in our family so this book is wonderful to read to get an idea of just how much *work* is involved to achieve your dreams.

Fairy Tales for the New Age

SarahKate's Notes:

In my opinion this is one of the finest collections of fairy tales
I've read. They aren't syrupy and super-positive. They are gentle,
original stories of children overcoming their fears, learning powerful
lessons, and meeting magical spirits. We savor this book and I read
the a story from it every few weeks and it is a real treat the whole
family enjoys.

A collection of twelve original fairy tales with a gentle, sensitive flavor. There are no wicked witches threatening to cook and eat small children, no big, bad wolves devouring your grandma. You will find instead, stories in which good things happen to characters who work at making their lives and relationships better--with and without magic.
