20, allée de la Danse #5

This charming entry in the Opéra National de Paris–licensed series, subtitled L'envol d'une discrète, is brought to life by Elizabeth Barféty and Laure Ngo with a cover that's immediately warm and full of personality. Seen from above, a young ballerina in a flowing powder-blue tutu sits on a wooden studio floor, a camera resting in her lap and handwritten notes and photographs scattered all around her — a quiet girl with a thoughtful gaze and clearly more going on beneath the surface. It's a lovely, delicate image that balances the grace of the ballet world with a hint of storytelling and creative spirit that will draw readers right in.
