Barton, Chris
The Nutcracker Comes to America: How Three Ballet-Loving Brothers Created a Holiday Tradition
(2)
4-6
Illustrated by
Cathy Gendron.
Barton's folksy text introduces three Utah brothers, all dancers, who eventually teamed up at the San Francisco Ballet to present the first U.S. production of The Nutcracker, on Christmas Eve 1944. Gendron's art effectively reproduces traditional ballet poses and makes the most of the large trim size. Good for sharing with children after seeing a performance of The Nutcracker.
