Now Creating Movement and Dance Books for Kids

We've switched our energy over to creating kids' movement and dance books. Please check out our Prop-Based Dance Stories (3+), Dance-It-Out! (4+), Dancing Shapes (6+), or Ballet Inspiration & Choreography Concepts (8+) book series.  


We offer generous fundraising and consignment for our beautiful stories, so please reach out. 


PS We donate all royalties (through 2030) to nonprofit organizations supporting the arts, animals, environment, or people.
