Winnie, Dancing on Her Own

Written by Jennifer Richard Jacobson

Narrated by Laura Hamilton

Eight-year-old Winnie and her two best friends Vanessa and Zoe, do everything together - until the two girls want to take up ballet and Winnie would rather continue their library-visit day. To preserve the friendship, Winnie tries to dance – and fails miserably.

When she drops out, her friendships suffer. With help from her supportive Dad, Winnie resolves to try again and all three girls learn that they can have different interests and still be friends.

A spirited and resourceful heroine, Winnie and her realistic adventures will have great appeal for newly- independent readers.

Jennifer Richard Jacobson

Jennifer Richard Jacobson grew up in a family of storytellers. “My brothers,” she says, “had the ability to make us laugh until our bellies hurt. I wasn’t as hilarious, but I learned how to take the mishaps in life (especially the embarrassments) and turn them into a dramatic story.” Jennifer is the author of the middle grade novels Paper Things and Small as an Elephant, and the Andy Shane picture book series, among others. She lives in Maine with her husband and Jack Russell terrier. Visit her at JenniferJacobson.com.
