Ballet Shoes is a delightful story about three adopted sisters, Pauline, Petrova, and Posy Fossil, living in London. Raised by their aunt Sylvia and their nanny Nana, the girls vow to make their mark on the world. Each pursues her dreams: Pauline dedicates herself to acting, Petrova dreams of flying planes, and Posy shows exceptional talent for ballet. As they grow up, they face challenges and learn valuable lessons about family, friendship, and the importance of following their passions. This heartwarming novel celebrates individuality and the power of the human spirit.
Mary Noel Streatfeild was an English author, best known for children's books including the "Shoes" books, which were not a series. Random House, the U.S. publisher of the 1936 novel Ballet Shoes (1936), published some of Streatfeild's subsequent children's books using the word "Shoes" in their titles, to capitalise on the popularity of Ballet Shoes; thus Circus Shoes, Party Shoes, Skating Shoes and many more. She won the third annual Carnegie Medal for The Circus Is Coming.
