Book Summary:

Katharine Holabird (born in Chicago) is the celebrated author behind the beloved Angelina Ballerina series, including Angelina, Star of the Show, illustrated by Helen Craig. Raised in a creative family of architects and artists, Holabird grew up immersed in tales of princesses, fairy worlds, and ballet—with a lifelong passion for performance and imagination.

The idea for Angelina Ballerina sprang to life at her kitchen table in the early 1980s, as her daughters twirled around her while she wrote. Initially conceived as a human character, Angelina became the beloved dancing mouse when illustrator Helen Craig gave her that delightful transformation. Holabird’s character—bold, emotional, and mischievously determined—quickly resonated with young readers worldwide.

Since the release of the first Angelina Ballerina book in 1983 (and the first American edition in 1984), Holabird's creation has blossomed into an extensive series—over 60 titles—adapted into television shows, merchandise, and stage performances. The character’s universal themes of friendship, loyalty, dreams, and perseverance have made Angelina an enduring icon for budding dancers and imaginative readers alike.
