A Christmas ballet retold for young readers

Rita Balducci’s Little Golden Book retells the familiar Christmas ballet in a children’s-book format, accompanied by new illustrations from Sheilah Beckett. Its subject brings together holiday storytelling, ballet, and fairy-tale elements, making it a compact introduction to the story for younger readers. The book is presented as a retelling, not as a description of the ballet’s full performance or history.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 interested in Christmas stories
  • Young readers curious about ballet or fairy tales
  • A gift choice for families seeking a holiday-themed children’s book
