A Lovely Children's Book

My 6-year old daughter and her friends are enthralled with this lovely book. We've read it many times and they never seem to tire of the story of the kind ballerina, Pavelle, and her dear friend Gemino. The illustrations are works of art and have a wonderful ethereal quality to them. Ms. Berger is a truly talented author and illustrator.

Absolutely exquisite book to illustrate for children love, c

This extraordinarily beautiful story teaches children the healing and transforming power of love and compassion. My three-year-old granddaughter was enchanted by it; she wanted it read over and over. Although I got it from the public library, I plan to purchase my own copy.
