內容簡介
內容簡介 A picture book about perseverance, self-esteem, and ballet for girls ages 5-8 For girls who dream... and for mothers who remember. Do you remember the first time you felt like you couldn't do something? The racing heart. The fear of getting it wrong. And how you tried anyway. Now imagine guiding your daughter through that same moment. Noemí dreams of becoming a ballerina. She wants to dance like her ballet teacher -light, graceful, effortless. But every time she jumps... she lands hard. She feels embarrassed. She compares herself to others. And quietly she tells herself, "I can't." In her ballet class, Noemí learns something powerful: talent doesn't appear overnight. Confidence is built through practice. Falling is part of learning. And perseverance transforms fear into strength. Little by little, she discovers that mistakes are not failure-they are steps forward. And one day, she finally lands... light as a feather. A children's book about confidence and growth. Noemí, Light as a Feather is more than a ballet story.
