I love Debbie Allen and ordered this book for my daughter based solely on the fact that Ms. Allen wrote it. It is now one of my daughter's favorites. We really love reading it together. It is adorable and the illustrations are beautiful.

This was soooo good! I really enjoyed the dynamic of that Allen made in allowing children to realize that who they are and what they look like physically shouldn't stop them from achieving their dreams and goals. It was fascinating and rewarding to watch the main character develop such an appreciation for herself and for ballet. It's also nice to see a black girl dancing ballet and participating in an activity where POC are a minority. This is one that I would definitely recommend for older readers as it is text heavy.
