I'm a ballerina!

2015
A story about a little girl who attends ballet classes, and performs on stage at her first recital.

Brave enough

Cason Martin has become the youngest ballerina in the Atlanta Ballet Conservatory, and it is not really her choice--her mother, the conservatory's artistic director, has made all of Cason's decisions for her, and being a ballerina was not Cason's choice. Soon, however, there will be no choice for anyone--Cason has been hiding a serious injury, worse than anyone could imagine.

Kisses & croissants

Mia Jenrow has always known she's destined to be a professional ballerina. In fact, it's in her blood. According to family legend, her too-many-greats-to-count-grandmother once danced for the Paris Opera and was painted by Degas himself. Her parents say it's just a fantasy, but to Mia, it's much more than that. It's her fate. Mia is planning to spend a magical summer in France pursuing her dream, but as she pirouettes into Paris, she soon realizes it may be a bit more complicated than she hoped. For starters, there's her rival, Audrey, who will stop at nothing to show her up. There's her ballet instructor, whose impossibly high standards push her to the breaking point. And then there's Louis. Devastatingly, distractingly charming Louis. He's eager to show Mia his city, and Mia is more than happy to hop on his Vespa and wrap her arms around him as they pass the gleaming lights of the Eiffel Tower. Mia's summer was supposed to be about ballet, but there's a reason Paris is called the City of Love.
