Balletball
by Erin Dionne (Author) and Gillian Flint (Illustrator)

Booktalk: Nini hates baseball. She hates that baseball is not ballet. She especially hates that Mom signed her up to play, but now she’s stuck with the sport. Nini just can’t bring herself to try. Her team starts to lose, but not even her teammates’ disappointment will change her feelings. A pep talk from her coach and sparkly shoelaces help–a little. When Nini makes a game-winning catch using her ballet moves, she realizes that change might not be so bad after all, and ballet and baseball have more in common than she thought.

Snippet: “I want my tutu! And my sparkles!” she wailed to her mother. “I want to leap and twirl and plié.”
