The Nutcracker has been the most beloved ballet show in the world since it was first performed in 1892. Susan Jeffers, New York Times bestseller, and multiple awards winner (Caldecott Honor, Golden Apple Biennial Brataslava, The ABBY American Booksellers Best Book Award, to name a few), wrote and illustrated a children’s book with spare text and beautiful illustration. This will be particular appropriate before your lovely little see the Nutcracker ballet. This was the first Nutcracker book that Lily read when she was little and watching the Nutcracker ballet become a family tradition ever since. When the holiday approaching, eight year old Lily is sharing this book with you and wishing you a jolly holiday season!
