I would never have picked up this picture book on my own, but recently a friend of mine was cast in an off-Broadway musical of the same name. I am trying to convince my husband to visit NYC over spring break so we can go see her in it. Just like with any book/movie adaptation, gotta read the book before I see the play. :o)

This was a charming little book with adorable illustrations. I imagine the musical will be just as charming.

This book is a HUGE reason why I have always wanted to be an illustrator, since I was a little girl. Will always have a special place in my heart.

(Read with little sister as part of the "1,001 Children's Books To Read")

The illustrations were wonderful and I loved how her parents helped her dreams come true.

A bit redundant story, later there are ones similar to it - I say 'later' as I believe this one to be the very first. Angelina warms my heart :)
