The Sleeping Beauty

Illustrator: Jessica Courtney-Tickle

In this wonderful press-the-button musical book series, each gorgeous double page spread evokes the magic of a grand classical ballet performance with a difference: one that embraces many skin tones. The bursts of Tchaikovsky’s music will familiarise listeners with this famous score, and enhance the already dramatic retelling of the story.
