Martina's story of facing a challenge and ultimately overcoming it, will embolden readers to believe in themselves and follow their dreams, while also understanding the importance of discipline and rising to the occasion.
Currently a five-star reviewed book on Amazon, the manuscript for "Martina Ballerina" won the Supreme award from the Authors/Writers Network of New York and New Jersey in 1989.
"I wrote 'Martina Ballerina' nearly 30 years ago when my kids were little. It received an award and I nearly got it published–but another ballerina book beat me to it! So, I put it aside and then forgot about it," said Sobiloff. "All these years later, my adult children dug it up, worked on it, and for my 60th birthday, presented me with my own book! Over the past year, I polished it up with the aid of an illustrator and publisher, and it is now ready for readers."
With beautiful illustrations by artist David Pfendler that help showcase Martina's passion for ballet and the lessons she learns along the way, "Martina Ballerina" will entertain and encourage readers of all ages to follow their dreams. To learn more, please visit MartinaBallerina.com.
