An uplifting and inspiring tale of ballet and friendship from a talented debut author/illustrator.
Max isn't like other tigers - he is a tiger with a dream! He longs to pirouette and plie, to leap and spin. He wants to be a dazzling ballet dancer, shining on the stage ... and a very special friend might just help his dream come true.
A delightfully funny story about friendship, self-belief and following your dreams.
"The saga of Max and his determination to get on the stage reads something like a fun version of Billy Elliot." Independent
"Little dancers will love to see Max triumph and get his moment in the spotlight." Parents in Touch
