Publisher Description: Curtain up Light the lights Nena wants to be a Diva--with a capital D--just like her mommy, who's a star on Broadway.

Tony Award-winning actress LaChanze and Caldecott Honoree Brian Pinkney present a showstopping story about a day in the life of a little diva with BIG Broadway dreams. |
