Description
Raise the curtain on the third book in John Schu's celebrated This Is Our World series--an exciting introduction to the magic of the theater.
Whether you're on the stage crew, a performer, or a member of the audience, this follow-up to This Is a School and This Is a Story offers an exhilarating homage to the people of all ages who make up a theater's beating heart.
Inviting readers in through the stage door, where costumes, scenery, songs, and rehearsals take shape, author John Schu and illustrator Jaime Kim peek out at the rows of velvet seats where attendees are ushered in as anticipation builds.
The view returns to the young actors in the wings, who are experiencing all the expected jitters and worries--but remind themselves that they've practiced well together and will soon be rewarded with rapt attention and applause.
In a story with appeal for both newbies and those who have already caught the theater bug, this lyrical look behind the scenes at opening night is certain to spark enthusiasm and provide reassurance.
