Little Diva

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Pinkney. Nena is a "diva-in-training" who wants to act, sing, and dance just like her mother. To bolster their already close relationship, the two spend a day together, which includes time backstage at Mom's matinee performance. The audience for this cutesy book (written by a Broadway star) is questionable. Pinkney's loosely drawn illustrations with lots of white space are the book's highlight.
