Bharatanatyam in Ballet Shoes

Description

Age range 4 to 7

A girl explores her love of dancing and her cultural identity in a lively picture book with echoes of the real-life collaboration between Bharatanatyam icon Rukmini Devi Arundale and ballerina Anna Pavlova.

Paro comes from a dancing family. At home, she dances Bharatanatyam with her mum, and now she’s excited to learn ballet. But what if she can’t dance like the other kids in her class? Ballerinas move like fairies, while Bharatanatyam dancers seem like queens. Paro can’t be both...can she?

Anu Chouhan’s vibrant, energetic illustrations emphasise themes of creative flexibility and navigating the intersections of different cultural identities.
