Quote(s)

1.    Madame Za-Za looked at her searchingly. “Elphie, at some point, you will have to move on to new shoes. Just as everyone who has ever owned them before you has done. Maybe you will even find someone to give your old shoes to.”

2.    “I wish I had my shoes,” said Delphie unhappily. “They help me to dance.”

“No, they don’t,” Aurelia told her. “You just think that but it’s your heart and your feet that do the dancing, not your shoes, I promise.” She squeezed Delphie’s hands. “You can do this. I know you can!”

3.    “Serves him right for taking Delphie’s shoes,” said Peaseblossom. “And for causing all this trouble in the first place.”

4.    “But we can’t just leave King Rat in love with a scarecrow!” protested Delphie. It was funny but also slightly mean. “What will happen when the scarecrow falls apart?”

5.    Dance with your heart and you will return.

6.    Well, I think you’re really lucky to have a mum who was a ballerina, and who’s so lovely.

7.    As Delphie looked at the younger girl she suddenly knew what she had to do. “Rosa, would you like my old red ballet shoes?”
