The Pink Ballerina couldn't seem to whirl and leap like the others. Her chances of getting a part in the Great Recital of the Fairy Princess seemed really slim until she helps a little boy whose balloon is stuck in a tree. She lands the star role!

Oh, to be a ballerina! It's a challenge for any little girl, but even more so if you happen to be a vampire like Vampirina. First of all, you have to find a class that meets at night. Then you have to figure out how to perfect your form when you can't see yourself in the mirror? And then there's wearing pink (not the most flattering of colors if you happen to be undead) and that nagging urge to take a little nip out of the other dancers. And worse of all... STAGE FRIGHT!!!

Gigi and her best friend, Frances, take their first dance lesson after Gigi reads half of a verse in Psalms about praising God in dance. With reluctant practice and awkward help from Tiara (her new dog) and Lord Fluffy (her not-so-cooperative cat), Gigi struggles to dance perfectly to God proud of her. Then Gigi learns that God looks at our hearts, not how perfectly we do things, and that God is proud of us when we are kind to others.

Home sweet home! Award-winning journalist Edie Robinson has come home to help out. But she’s back for only a month. Much as she loves her family, that’s all she can take of small-town life and her elderly mother’s constant complaints: “Why can’t you be like yourmarried sister?
