Books by Mary Cooper Harkin

When Emma, a young ballet student, loses her pink ballet slippers, she is worried about having to wear black ones that "only boys wear." When her ballet teacher, Miss Mary, learns that Emma is upset, she finds this the perfect opportunity to teach her students a valuable lesson-one not about ballet, but about life. Emma and her fellow ballet students discover the meaning of what Miss Mary has told them all along-"A ballet dancer is first and foremost one in their heart!" In "The Ballet Slippers," the compassionate, caring Miss Mary shares a lovely, warm and uplifting story that children and parents alike will love to read... again and again!
