Firebird by Misty Copeland
5.0
A beautifully illustrated book with a very real message. Misty Copeland was drawn in to be a ballerina, feeling destined for the dance, but grew up without seeing any images of girls like her in ballet books. She is now fixing that for all African American girls who aspire to ballet.
In this book, a young girl speaks to Misty, telling her of how far apart they are in skill, and how hopeless it seems, and Misty responds that hard work will bring them together, and let the next generations of girls know that it is possible.
A must-have for any public library, and the exact perfect choice for any aspiring dancer, regardless of race, but especially important BECAUSE of race.
