Pippa by Design by Claudia Logan, Chesley McLaren (Illustrator); 2019 Hardcover (Ch-FIC)

Heavily illustrated with photos and artwork, full of factual tidbits from the world of ballet, all woven into an engaging narrative for young readers,Pippa by Designis a fun-filled read perfect for fashionistas and dancers-to-be, from author Claudia Logan and illustrator Chesley McLaren. Pippa does not finish every activity she starts or get picked for everything--unlike her sister Verity. Pippa does, however, love to draw fashion designs in her special sketchbook, while she waits in the hallway to pick up Verity at ballet practice. There's a big hullabaloo when Verity announces that she's been chosen to dance in a performance ofThe Sleeping Beauty, and another hullabaloo later when Pippa discovers her sketchbook has gone missing. But all isn't lost--with the help of a secret admirer, new friends, and even her sister, Pippa finds herself invited into a world she never imagined, and a place where she truly belongs.
