Tallulah's Toe Shoes

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. "Tallulah knew she'd never be a ballerina until she got a pair of pink satin toe shoes." Despite warnings that she is too young, Tallulah takes home a pair she finds in the trash at ballet school. Elegant watercolors reflect Tallulah's dreams of en pointe grandeur (and the pain of swollen toes). Few picture books deal this well with delayed gratification.
