Hope you’re all having a great summer. To be honest, I’m roasting. I’m writing with a mini fan next to me at all times.
This post is special because I have breaking news. The cover of Ballet Besties - Book 4 - Momoka’s Dancing Dream has been revealed today on socials and I wanted to be the first to bring you the news.
Ballet Besties is a 4-book series, set in Ballet class. I co-wrote it with Yasmine Naghdi, a principal ballerina at the Royal Ballet. It is illustrated by Paula Franco. The series is published by Piccadilly Press.
Each book features a ballet that is personal and special to one of the characters and their story. The book is filled with friendship, cake and ballet behind the scenes. With a detailed glossary and a fun cake recipe, each book is brimming with stuff that kids aged 7+ will love.
Now to the breaking news! Ballet Besties - Book 4 - Momoka’s Dancing Dream will be out on 6th November 2025. And here is the cover!
💖 Meet Momoka – she lives to dance. Ballet is her joy, her passion, her everything. But when her famous violinist grandma visits and expects her to follow in her footsteps… 🎻 Momoka is torn.
Will she find the courage to tell Grandma how much ballet means to her? Can she juggle The Nutcracker and the violin without losing herself?
I really enjoyed learning about ballet and the lives of dancers, while writing this book. It is a joyous book about good friends, great teachers and empathetic parents. It’s a book about dance, as much as it is about cake, family and friendship.
Check out our series, catch up on the reading before the fourth book is out! You can preorder the fourth book from your favourite indie bookshop or online here.
Becca I have dates - the first two books will be out in the US in September! I hope to make some formal announcement of dates when I’m have the copies in my hand! 🥳
Hello, Congrats on a book 4 in this series. I am a youth librarian in the United States. Is there any chance of these books being released in the U.S.? I have young patrons who would love to read these! Thank you!
