Quote(s)

1.    She loved the feeling of spinning, moving, jumping. It was hard to explain but, although she had never had any lessons, inside she just felt like she knew what it was like to be a real ballerina.

2.    Delphie did understand. After all, money was quite tight in their house.

3.    I will teach you for free.

4.    Oh, I don’t think there will be a problem with that. I think you will find them the perfect size. They have been waiting for the right person to come along and something tells me you might be that person. … they are very special shoes, Delphie. I hope one day you find out just how special they are.

5.    Ballet is about much more than just dancing – the real magic comes from telling a story and making the audience believe in that story. … Never forget that – always believe in it.

6.    The red ballet shoes were glittering and sparkling in the dark!

7.    They are very special shoes, Delphie. I hope one day you find out just how special they are.

8.    After her adventures in Enchantia, she was even more determined to practise really hard and get as good at ballet as she could.

Thoughts

(1)

I admire the fact that Delphie knows what she likes.

She knows hence she didn’t demand her parents to let her go to the ballet school. That’s sweet of her.

Wow! Madame Za-Za is amazing!

If I didn’t know this is a children book… it would’ve scared me a little.
