About this item

Oh, to be a ballerina! It's a challenge for any little girl, but even more so if you happen to be a vampire like Vampirina. First of all, you have to find a class that meets at night. Then you have to figure out how to perfect your form when you can't see yourself in the mirror? And then there's wearing pink (not the most flattering of colors if you happen to be undead) and that nagging urge to take a little nip out of the other dancers. And worse of all STAGE FRIGHT!!!



About the Author

Anne Marie Pace

In spite of the adage to write what you know, Anne Marie Pace has never been a vampire, a bear, a ballerina, or a sledding pig. She is the author of a number of published and upcoming picture books, including NEVER EVER TALK TO STRANGERS and A TEACHER FOR BEAR, both published by Scholastic Book Clubs; the VAMPIRINA BALLERINA series, illustrated by LeUyen Pham, published by Disney-Hyperion, which is soon to be a television series from Disney Junior; and PIGLOO, illustrated by Lorna Hussey, published by Henry Holt. Someday, she hopes to write books about what she does know: whistling, baking blue-ribbon-winning chocolate chip cookies, and schlepping kids around in a minivan, if she can find a way to make any of that interesting. Upcoming picture books include GROUNDHUG DAY, illustrated by Christopher Denise (Disney-Hyperion, 2017) , and BUSY-EYED DAY, illustrated by Frann Preston-Gannon (Beach Lane Books, 2018) . She lives with her family in Virginia.
