Publisher Description
Every child who loves to dance will surely get a “kick” out of Candace Center Stage, the heartwarming and hilarious tale of a girl who joyfully embraces the song and dance in her heart … even when she doesn’t quite fit in at ballet class.
Written by Candace Cameron Bure, New York Times bestselling author and star of the hit TV series Full House and Fuller House, this charming, laugh-out-loud picture book tells the story of a little girl who quickly realizes one thing after her mother signs her up for ballet lessons … she’s no ballerina.
As Candace moves and grooves across the floor, she topples all the ballerinas in her path. Her teacher, Miss Grace, tries to teach her proper ballet positions, but Candace is more interested in shakes and shimmies than plies and pas de bourrées. When disaster strikes during the big recital, can ungraceful Candace step up and save the day?

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Candace, a vivacious girl with a pet hamster and sandy hair, loves to dance. But when her mom signs her up for ballet class, "Candace was more interested in shakes and shimmies than pli s and relev s." The child works hard alongside the more self-assured ballerinas but has trouble learning the steps in time for the recital; she just prefers to dance her own way. When the curtain rises, however, the other ballerinas are overcome with nerves. Candace's shimmying proves contagious and helps the others to feel more at ease. Actress Bure's message isn't subtle ("The girls thanked Candace, who showed them anything's possible if you work hard and have the courage to be yourself"). Even so, Candace is a relatable heroine who moves to the beat of her own drum. Ages 4 8.
