In Pardon My French-It's the Language of Ballet, dance student Lilly Nilly's self-appointed mission is to figure out what the heck ballet-and coincidentally life-are all about and share this insight with other kids.
Enter the mind of spunky and precocious six-year-old Lilly Nilly in Pardon My French - It's the Language of Ballet. As a dance student, her self-appointed mission is to figure out what the heck ballet -- and coincidentally life -- are all about and share this insight with other kids. Young girls will find Lilly's stories funny and very relatable, especially if they are ballet students themselves. Adults will find her sharp wit and strong-willed spirit a charming reminder of just how empowering a joyful approach to life can be.
Pardon My French - It's the Language of Ballet is complete with illustrations that only Lilly Nilly could have drawn - with a little help from her author, Nancy Paris. The book is inspired by the author's own experience as a young dance student, and later, a professional dancer and teacher. The author's mission, through Lilly, is to encourage girls to trust their instincts, seek their own answers, and be kind to all.
