About the book

The Little Dancer: Olivier Desvaux by Geraldine Elschner is a children’s picture book.

One of Degas's most celebrated works comes to life in this vibrantly illustrated story of the young ballerina who inspired the artist. Degas's ballerina paintings are well known and admired and his sculptural work Little Dancer Aged Fourteen - the only sculpture he exhibited in his lifetime - is particularly beloved for capturing the essence of a ballerina.

This book tells the fictional story of a young girl who dreams of becoming a ballet dancer. Jeanne auditions at the Opera Garnier and moves with her mother, a laundress, to Montmartre where life becomes consumed by rehearsals and classes. One day she meets Mr D, an artist who asks Jeanne to be his model.
