Books and Ballerinas

I went to this ballet demonstration in the public library with a picture in my head that I was sure I wanted to get. It was the second picture you see here. I ended up liking the first one better, though. I guess even a well-planned event in a familiar place can turn out to be unpredictable.

Aspiring ballerina Emma Larson, 4, came straight from her dance class to enjoy a ballet presentation at the library with her mother, Erin Larson, of Concord. Teenage ballerinas from dance company Petit Papillon offer children a sneak preview of their upcoming production at the Concord Public Library on Saturday, March 20, 2010. When The Root Children Wake Up, an original ballet based on an old German folk tale, will be at the Audi Theatre in Concord on Saturday. Tickets at $10/$6 are available at Ballard's, Gibson's, and the door.
