Miss Lina’s ballerinas have all learned how to dance as a group. But now Miss Lina has a new surprise for them – a boy will be joining their class and performing in their end-of-year show.

The girls have grand visions of dancing their first pas de deux with a prince. But when he finds himself surrounded by so much pink and so many girls, he turns quite shy, and dances his way out the door!

Praise for Miss Lina's Ballerinas and the Prince

“Davenier’s pencil and watercolor illustrations display continuous movement and a predominance of pink; each page will make readers smile as they pore over the characters’ expressive faces and priceless body language.” --School Library Journal, Starred Review

"Welcome Tony Farina to Miss Lina's, and join the applause for a lovely and lively story." -Kirkus Reviews
