Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig
Adorable illustrations and charming text make this story a hit with girls and boys. It’s not just for aspiring dancers but shows children the joy of pursuing what you love. “Gwendolyn, the Graceful Pig was written by David Ira Rottenberg and illustrated by Lesley Anderson. The book follows the story of Gwendolyn, who wishes she could be a dancer, but is doubtful because, well, she's a pig. Her good friend Omar, also a pig, wants to play football, but the coach thinks he's too clumsy. The two of them enroll in dance class, and with the help of a hard-working Russian dance teacher, Gwendolyn and Omar become graceful dancers (which in turn helps Omar with his football career). This cute story can help inspire both boys and girls to get into dance class, and it gives accolades to the teachers themselves, whose dedication is often overlooked.” Available October 1, 2008
