Katarina helps a fellow ballet dancer follow his dreams in this sweet second installment in the Katarina Ballerina series from New York City principal dancer and international prima ballerina Tiler Peck and Broadway and television actor Kyle Harris.

After earning a spot in a prestigious ballet camp, Katarina is excited to meet other dancers from around the world! When she arrives, Katarina becomes fast friends with a boy named Ricky from London. He loves to dance, but also has a passion for soccer.

As the camp comes to a close, Ricky struggles to embrace his identity and tell his teammates back home about his love for dance. Katarina encourages him via her letters as his pen pal, to own his gifts and share them with the world. But will it be enough to help Ricky chase his dreams beyond the soccer field and onto the dance floor?

Sumi Collina is a magenta-haired illustrator based in Italy. She’s been creating since the moment she decided that drawing was better than bruising her knees while playing with the other kids. She worked as a pixel artist for three dress-up websites before moving to Rome to study illustration. Sumi now works freelance, illustrating children’s books, proposal scenes for young couples (again, lots of bruised knees), and card games. She now lives with a family of three very rustic dogs. As a dog owner, she is very passionate towards donating towards animals in need around the world.
