Leap and twirl alongside Zombelina, the most adorable zombie to ever grace the dance floor, in this wickedly charming picture book perfect for fans of Vampirina!

Zombelina loves to dance. She moonwalks with mummies and boogies with bats. She spins like a specter and glides like a ghost and loves to dance for her family the most. And when Zombelina enrolls in a ballet class for human girls, her dancing gives everyone the chills! But her first recital also brings on a case of stage fright, and she worries that her zombie moans and ghoulish groans will scare her audience away. Luckily, with the help of her family and friends, Zombelina finds the courage to dance the ballet debut of her dreams.

Kristyn Crow's pitch-perfect rhyme and Molly Idle's spook-tacular illustrations will make every reader want to sway and sashay in their own zombie trance.

Kristyn enjoys visiting elementary schools, where she directs eager young readers in a "swamp rhythm symphony" using a variety of percussion instruments.
