Illustrated by Fred Marcellino / Retold by Tor Seidler
Table of Contents
About The Book
Award-winning author Tor Seidler and the incomparable illustrator Fred Marcellino retell Hans Christian Anderson’s classic Christmas tale about a tin solder who is separated from the paper ballerina he loves in this stunning picture book that’s perfect for gift-giving.
True love blossoms between a handsome one-legged tin soldier and a graceful paper ballerina, posed in arabesque. But when a jealous goblin pushes the soldier out a window, the soldier embarks on a journey through storm drains, past toll-collecting rats, into canals, and inside a fish before finding his way back with his beloved ballerina.
