Charlie wants to be a ballerina. His peers think he should do boy things. The girls tell him boys don’t dance. His grandparents want him to do their things, and Auntie just thinks he’s silly. Despite their negative reactions, Charlie exuberantly runs, hops, leaps, spins, twirls, and sashays through this book.

In this day of improving gender equality, children still deal with other people’s negative attitudes. Boys who want to dance ballet often face these negative attitudes from their family and friends. In this 32 page, illustrated, children’s picture book, Charlie is faced with these negative, stereotypical attitudes, but in the end, he is encouraged by his Dad, and learns what it means to be a Ballerino .

Charlie Ballerina includes a Photo dictionary of ballet movements terms.
