Emily Marie Johnson
is the Ballerina Princess
With Love From,
Mom and Dad

Emily Johnson, Age 5, was walking in a park near Mundelein, Illinois. She was watching butterflies playing in the flowers and was quite surprised when a king and queen arrived.
"We're looking for a beautiful young girl to become the new princess of our kingdom," the king said.

"I've always dreamed about being a princess!" said Emily.
The happy king and queen took Emily back to their castle.
"I wish Emma, Grace and Morgan could see this place!" Emily said. "It's so big you could have the whole kingdom over for a party."

"What an excellent idea!" said the queen. Soon, the entire castle was busy with preparations for a fancy ball to welcome the new princess.
The royal dressmakers created a beautiful gown just for Emily. When she tried it on, Emily could hardly believe her eyes.
"In this dress I really do look like a princess," she said.

All eyes were on Emily as she made a grand entrance into the ballroom.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce Princess Emily Marie Johnson," the king announced.
Cheers from the crowd filled her heart with joy. Being a princess was even more wonderful than she had ever imagined.

When Emily awoke the next morning, the weather was warm and sunny.
"You should go to the beach and have fun with your new friends," the queen said.
"That sounds great!" Emily replied. She spent the whole day at the beach swimming and playing in the sand with her new friends.

"When Emily returned from the beach, the queen had a surprise for her.
"Tonight the royal dancers will perform a ballet at the castle," she said. "And they want you to dance with them!"
That night, Emily was nervous but excited as the dancers began the ballet.

Soon it was time for Emily to join the ballet. She took a deep breath and stepped out onto the stage.
Emily heard the beautiful music playing and saw the smiling ballerinas all around her. She forgot how nervous she was and danced more gracefully than she had ever danced in her life.

Emily met the king and queen for tea the next day. She was still tingling with excitement from the standing ovation she received at the ballet.
"You are the finest princess we could ever wish for, Emily," said the queen.

"We hope you will stay here with us for a very long time." the king said.
"But I miss Emma, Grace and Morgan," Emily said.
"Then you must return to them," replied the king. "After all, you are their princess, too."
"We'll miss you," the queen said as she waved goodbye.
The royal carriage took Emily home to Mundelein, Illinois, but she knew she would be back to visit again very soon.
