This little girl doesn't call her grandmother Nana, or Abuela, or Grandma… she calls her Grand Jeté, like the ballet move! Grand Jeté is an expert on everything elegant and makes sure to always model the proper etiquette of a poised ballerina for her granddaughter. Take a bow! Straight spine. Look your best. And always carry flowers!
In this charming picture book from former prima ballerina Allegra Kent and bestselling Fancy Nancy illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser, Grand Jeté and her granddaughter embark on a holiday adventure to see The Nutcracker together! Grand Jeté loves seeing this holiday tradition through her beloved granddaughter's eyes. And when her granddaughter admires the Sugar Plum Fairy, Grand Jeté encourages her to dream big: "I was just like her, my darling," she says. "And someday you might be too."
