Inspiration

I was so inspired with my wife’s former career as a professional ballerina that I decided to write a children’s story about ballet. I only had a smattering of knowledge about the terminology and positions used in this art form, but with Shirley’s expertise, the problem was soon resolved. With vivid memories of her graceful performances, I’m happy to say that my 23rd children’s story was a pleasure to write.
