About the Book
Lina's Story
Lina is a little dachshund with a very big dream: she wants to dance in the ballet. She practices her twirls and leaps with all her heart — but her paws don’t quite follow the music. When her big audition stumbles, Lina thinks her dream is over.
Then she discovers something beautiful. Her costumes are the reason the audience cheers. Her creativity becomes her spotlight.
Lina the Dreamer is a joyful rhyming picture book about trying, stumbling, and finding a new path. It teaches kids that dreams can grow and shift — and that there’s more than one way to belong.
