DURING THE PROCESS OF CREATING THIS BOOK, I RECONNECTED WITH THE INNER JULIA WHO ONCE LOVED DANCING BALLET. I'D BE LYING IF I SAID THIS BOOK ISN'T EXTRA SPECIAL TO ME. WORKING WITH THIS PARTICULAR CLIENT WAS A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE — OUR COMMUNICATION WAS CLEAR AND CONSTRUCTIVE BECAUSE WE BOTH SHARED THE SAME GOAL: TO MAKE THIS BOOK PERFECT, AS IT WAS CREATED WITH PASSION FROM BEGINNING TO END.

​

YOU MIGHT NOTICE A FEW DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE FINAL ILLUSTRATIONS AND THE ORIGINAL SKETCHES, AS THE STORY AND TEXT EVOLVED A LOT THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. FOR ME, THIS BOOK IS FOR ALL THE LITTLE GIRLS WHO ARE LIKE I ONCE WAS. I HOPE THAT WHEN THEY OPEN ITS PAGES AND SEE MY ILLUSTRATIONS, IT BRINGS A LITTLE BIT OF MAGIC TO THEIR WORLD, JUST AS IT ONCE DID TO MINE.
