Please Help Me Prove to My Parents This Book Exists
Okay, so around the early 2000s I had a big collection of children's books, and I would always like to pick one out to read to my parents. Well one day I read them a book they swear they did not buy for me, and they hated it and threw it out (to be fair once you read the description you will probably agree it was an awful book to give to a kid). I have always remembered it though, but my parents claim the book never existed.
The story went like this (at least as much as I remember):
There was a young girl who was a dancer, and she had a boy her age who was her partner in dance and would always lift her up for the "big finish". But, the girl's parents fought every night and it kept her awake. So, in order to comfort herself, she would hide a box of assorted chocolates under her pillow, and every night she would eat the entire box of chocolates. However, as she got older, she...well, gained a lot of weight from doing this. So much so that at one dance performance, she ended up squishing her dance partner because she was so big, and she couldn't dance ever again. So, she ended up moving to the countryside where she started a business making one of a kind dolls (that were all her size) and she still ate an entire box of chocolates every day. The End.
Please help me find this book so I can prove once and for all to my parents that the book exists and I did not imagine it! It may have been published around the late 1990s/early 2000s, and it was a hardcover kid's book.
