Lovely Book, August 20, 2008
This is a lovely book, both visually and in content. It is fun, light, magical yet "serious" at the same time, touching on the many dimensions of following a dream. I especially liked the magical moon, his wonderful song, totally unexpected, which for me added to the magic and the power of his interchange with Tara the dancer. A lover of the stars, moon, dance and dreams, I feel lighter and brighter having read the book, and inspired! —Melinda J. Furcht, Light Deep Heartworks Compassionate Flower Essence Care (Maryland)

This was a cute story for girls. I like how the little girl never gave up on her dream even when she thought that her teacher didn't believe in her. The best part of the story is when the little girl realizes that her teacher wasn't critizing her, but helping her be the best she can be to help her reach her dreams. This book teaches you to never give up hope and that your dreams are attainable. —Brooke Walsh "Ivette Sherman"

This beautiful children's book depicts the hopes and struggles of a budding ballerina. Tara's story is one of frustration and even despair as she learns that success in the dance world requires not only talent but self-confidence and perseverance.
