Description

Meet Rita, a big bear with an even bigger dream!

Rita is a talented, passionate, hard-working ballerina. And she's top of her class! But when she studies her ballet magazines, and compares herself to her friends, she realises - she's the wrong shape! Can Rita find her inner power and confidence in her beautiful big-bear body?

With lyrical text from Stephanie Stansbie and soft, magical illustrations from debut talent Wendy Warren, The Bear Who Wanted to Dance is a beautiful picture book about self-acceptance, body positivity, representation, and - of course - dancing!

This uplifting story will strike a chord with any child who has ever felt out of place or like they didn't quite fit the mould.
