Synopsis

From the very moment she was born, Tulip loved to dance.She learned to spin before she could crawl, and to hop before she could walk. Tulip wouldn't be Tulip if there wasn't a skip in her step! Every evening before bed, Tulip makes a wish in her Tulip way (with a bend and a sway), and it's always the same wish.One day, as Tulip hops and twirls in the park, she finds a special friend who just might make her wish come true. But could Tulip make someone else's wish come true, too?Beloved author Alyssa Satin Capucilli and talented illustrator Sarah Massini have created a lively story that dances with passion, friendship, and the momentous joy of sharing what you love with someone you love.

About this title

Review:

"Whether Tulip is dancing on her bed (her legs just so, her arms arched gracefully in the air) or twirling through a tulip-studded park with Rex (who has some impressive Baryshnikov-like moves himself), she is the very picture of unadulterated joy."--Publishers Weekly

"Young girls who love to dance will enjoy reading and seeing how Tulip's talents lead her to a kindred spirit."--School Library Journal

Praise for Over in the Meadow at the Big Ballet, illustrated by Sarah Massini: "Both text and illustrations capture perfectly the excitement and nervousness of putting on a production. The jewel-toned artwork done in ink, acrylic, and oil is energetic and endearing."--School Library Journal

Praise for Oh, Harry!, illustrated by Sarah Massini: "Using a mix of bright, delightful full-page pictures, illustrations cut in half horizontally, or divided into boxes, this breezy tale has immediate appeal."--ALA Booklist

"Massini's large, soft pastel illustrations are very appealing, especially the close-ups of Tulip and Rex, clearly in delight with each other. Perfect for Valentine's Day and any discussion of love on many levels."--ALA Booklist

Praise for Biscuit: "Biscuit is a charming little fellow. Traditional and sweet just like homemade buttermilk biscuits with honey."--Kirkus Reviews
