DESCRIPTION:Free Community Storytime & Play Event 📖🩰“It’s time to
  go on stage\, but one young dancer is nervous. So she runs and hides unti
 l an older ballerina hears her sniffles and unties the beautiful red ribbo
 n from her hair\, offering it as a small\, shining gift of courage.With th
 e ribbon in hand\, the young dancer steps into the light and dances withou
 t fear. She takes to the stage over and over again… and years later\, wh
 en she hears a little sniffle in the dressing room\, she knows just what t
 o do.”About the author:Tessa Blackham is a writer and illustrator of pic
 ture books.Her use of gouache\, relief-printing with plants\, charcoal\, a
 nd collage make her illustrations delicate and dynamic. Dry media is her f
 avorite because she loves having direct contact with the paper\, giving he
 r more control and the ability to erase.No\, she was never a ballerina\, b
 ut her 5-year-old self believes she is. And yes\, a whale befriended her w
 hile she was on a kayak in Hawaii. Tessa received her BFA in Illustration 
 in Utah where she grew up. She now resides in Washington State on a Pacifi
 c Northwest island in the woods with her family.Learn more atwww.tessablac
