Overview

Meet Lana, the hippo with a BIG dream and even BIGGER twirls. While the other animals splash, stomp, and nap in the sun, Lana only wants one thing- to dance ballet. There's just one problem: Everyone says hippos are too heavy, too clumsy, and too wobbly for the stage. But Lana doesn't give up. She practices pliés in the pond, pirouettes in the mud, and tiptoes on the riverbank under the moon. With the help of a few ballet friends and a bit of self confidence, Lana learns that being different is exactly what makes her special. When the big talent show arrives, Lana must decide: Will she hide in the shadows, or dance her heart out in the spotlight? This charming, beautifully illustrated picture book celebrates: Following your dreams (no matter what others say) Body confidence and loving who you are Practice, perseverance, and trying again The joy of music, movement, and self-expression Perfect for ages 0-5, ""Lana the Ballerina Hippo"" is a heartwarming read-aloud for little dancers, animal lovers, and any child who's ever been told, ""You can't."" Lana shows them all the same thing: ""Yes, I can-watch me dance!""
