nCelebrating a landmark event in the life of all dancers nIts the night before a young girls first dance recital. At the dress rehearsal, she and her class go over the steps one last time. What if she messes up? she worries. But the next day, shes ready to perform. When the class spins left she spins right Without missing a beat, she keeps on dancing and smiling. The Night Before My Dance Recital celebrates this with humor, warmth, and engaging illustrations by Amy Wummer.n
