The Tutu Ballet by Sally Lee

The Tutu Ballet is a short picture book the celebrates the diversity of talents, sizes, and colors through the use of forest animals. The author directly uses the diversity of the young animals talents to show that everyone is special in their own way and by doing your best at what you're good at you can be a part of a whole.

None of the animals are good at doing every ballet move, but some can jump better, some can twirl better, and others can kick better. More subtle, the animals vary in color, size, and gender.


This would be an excellent introductory story about diversity for young children if you are looking for a story to spark a conversation about how we can be different but still wonderful.
