Alicia Alonso Takes the Stage
by Rebel Girls
informative
slow-paced
Alicia Alonso Takes the Stage is an inspiring tale from Rebel Girls about an incredible ballet star. A true Prima Donna who did and does inspire many to this day.
This story is one of courage, and perseverance in the dice of true adversity. Alicia had to fight against her own body for as long as she were able so that she could continue her love of ballet. However, I have to say I found the large jumps in time were jarring in the particular book, whilst sitting understand that these books are to be a short introduction to a character, I wished that this book could have been longer so it was a little smoother as events unfold.
I would highly recommend purchasing this book if your child has an interest in either Alicia Alonso or ballet in general as a good introduction to someone who showed the world the wonder of the art. After reading it myself, I watched videos of Alicia dancing and she was a wonder to witness in her performances.
