The Adventure of Lilly Nilly: Pardon My French It’s The Language of Ballet by Nancy Paris– a book about a precocious little girl. A little girl who gives her thoughts and observations of life, as she sees it, in and out of ballet studio.

Lilly Nilly sees the world in a unique way and delivers her humorous, offbeat observations with childlike honesty. She wears her curiosity on her sleeve and asks burning questions like, “Why can’t you hang upside down on a ballet barre if it looks just like an ordinary bar?” Or, “If you’re going to travel in a carpool, should you wear a bathing suit?”

This darling story does not only delight kids it will also delight adults. Young readers will find Lilly’s stories funny and very relatable, especially if they are ballet students themselves,” Paris said. “Adults will find her sharp wit and strong-willed spirit a charming reminder of just how empowering a joyful approach to life can be.”

So now, excusez-moi! I must put on my tutu and practice my port de bra. Oh, by the way. Don’t let the door hit your popo on the way out. ​So, you see, I also speak French.
