Rating: ★★★★1/2

Genre: Children’s lit, biography

Medium: Hardcover

Synopsis: Dance is energizing, elaborate, passionate.  Misty Copeland is a professional dancer who’s worked hard at what she does.  In this story, Misty encourages a young performer to keep going, and to continue working towards her passion.

Review:  Since when do books about dancing make me so emotional??  I don’t even dance!  But, I gotta say that this book has an amazing message accompanied by amazing illustrations.

This story is about a young girl who’s questioning her abilities and confidence–something I’m sure we can all relate to, at some point or another.  Both the story and the illustrations encourage the reader to not only continue reading the book, but to keep moving forward.
