Later, when she was a freelance writer living in London, she had two young daughters who also loved to dance. She grew up in Chicago with three sisters, and they spent hours dressing up and dancing around the house in ballet costumes, made by her set-designer father. Holabird - like a lot of children - loved to dance as a kid. "She's feisty and she has a lot of emotion. "She's this marvelous character," says Holabird of the little white mouse in a pink tutu. "She danced all the time and she danced everywhere, and often she was so busy dancing that she forgot about the other things she was supposed to be doing." "More than anything else in the world, Angelina loved to dance," writes Katharine Holabird on the first page of her classic 1983 picture book, Angelina Ballerina.
