A Ballerina Book: “ELLA, of course!”

“ELLA, of course!” is a children’s picture book written by Sarah Weeks and illustrated by Doug Cushman. It was published in 2007 by Harcourt Books. It was a Young Hoosier Book Award Nominee 2010-2011.

Ella is, of course, a problem solver. When she is not allowed to bring her umbrella to the ballet recital, she comes up with an ingenious way to make her beloved umbrella part of the recital. I loved the humor in this book and the colorful illustrations. Beverly
