A Child's Introduction to Ballet was created by Laura Lee with technical assistance and advice from Valery Lantratov, the artistic director of the Russian National Ballet foundation, who was awarded Russia's highest artistic honor by President Boris Yeltsin-- the title "People's Artist of Russia."   We believe we have created a book that makes learning about ballet fun for kids.  (And their parents too!)  Beautifully illustrated by Meredith Hamilton, it has illustrated ballet stories, fun facts, dancer biographies and explanations of ballet terminology and positions.  It even comes with a CD with musical selections from the world's great ballets!
