![]() ![]() In this spectacular debut full of fluid, dynamic illustrations, Charlotte provides youngsters with a multicultural tale of family, dance, and holiday cheer. With the help of her Trinidadian and Filipino families, encouragement from her sister, and a view of her mom and dad in the audience, Charlotte finds the strength to never give up. Dancing takes practice-hours of adjusting her arms and perfecting her jumps. So, when she gets the opportunity to play Marie in the New York City Ballet's The Nutcracker, she leaps at the chance. The only thing Charlotte loves as much as ballet is Christmas. ![]() In this celebration of Black holiday joy, 12-year-old ballerina Charlotte Nebres weaves together the story of The Nutcracker with the inspirational true story of how she became the first Black girl to play the lead of Marie in the New York City Ballet's production. ![]()
