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.
