“The story’s storyline proves that with practice, you can be whatever you want to be, even a mouse who becomes a ballerina.”
Excerpts from Karmeron Brooks review for Reddsy Discovery (click logo below for full review)
“…her book fosters a genuine appreciation for ballet through Mimette’s and Hobart’s enthusiasm for dance and employing language that conveys its elegance.”
“The art captures the story beautifully, from dancers in motion on stage to close views of faces and expressions, giving the story a compelling, dynamic quality. And Mimette, in her tiny tutu, is particularly appealing.
With its focus on ballet, the book should appeal to young dancers, but other youngsters will also delight in this endearing story. Its real accomplishment is the way the book emphasizes Mimette’s sense of curiosity and wonder, characteristics any child would do well to imitate.”

“Just received my copy and what a wonderful story! This book touches on so many issues facing people today while introducing children to the wonderful world of ballet. It weaves together the belief that no dream is too big nor anyone too small while also showing that what you believe to be true just might not be the case. The perfect gift for your children or grandchildren!”
Amazon reviewer
“I purchased this book for my grand-niece and she adores it! The story is sweet and offers some subtle positive life lessons without hitting you over the head with it. The characters of Mimette and Hobart are wonderful and the illustrations really make the story come alive. Highly recommend this children's book.”
Amazon reviewer
“As a grandmother, I often read the books before I send them along to my granddaughter. This book is a wonderful read for young children. It subtly encourages them to follow their dreams without overstating it. It also encourages them to look beyond the obvious - to not judge just based on what is traditional but rather, to look at the individual. I loved the pluckiness of Mimette to keep reaching to be the best she could, even it is not normal for a mouse. And Hobart - what wisdom and cunning. Definitely a good read and I hope there are more adventures for Mimette and Hobart to come.”
Amazon reviewer
“Such a positive story for children to model off of. My daughter can’t put it down.”
