"Exquisitely illustrated, this charming tale of a warthog's journey toward finding love of life is a delight. A glossary at the end and pronunciation guides at the bottom of the pages assist young readers, stretching their comprehension of ballet terms. Depictions of famous landmarks further enhance the educational aspect of this book. A perfect read for parents or siblings to share with their aspiring young dancers."

"At a time in which celebrity children's books with hired illustrators are so ubiquitous, Demifleur: A Rogue Ballerina is indeed refreshing. It is truly original, with witty and delightful rhyming and superb illustrations. I can imagine mothers and fathers reading this book to children of various ages as there are numerous teaching moments within the story. The tale of Demifleur the warthog and Aloysius the elephant is presented to children (and adults) in a sweet, diverse, and thoughtful way. There is wide appeal to both girls and boys with a very meaningful message within about self-image and self-esteem. Well done!"
