Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite is so associated with Christmas, there probably aren't many little girls and boys who didn't want to participate in their school's production of the ballet. Lori Mitchell, once again has captured the sweet innocence of the children in the ballet, creating a Clara holding a nutcracker that looks like it is in motion. Of course Lori also has most of the other characters so that you could buy them all as a set and display them for everyone young and old to enjoy!
