4 ⭐ A lovely book about a girl who loves to dance. Her mother grants her wish and tales her to dance school. There she feels out of step and wilted. But a special pair of shoes will help her re-find confidence in herself. She had the ability the entire time she just had to be reminded to be herself and do what she loves. This is a sweet book. The illustrations are lovely. The illustrator is Diane Good. I‘m not sure if that‘s the fancy Nancy

LibrarianRyan illustrator but the illustrations remind me of that. Overall, this was a lovely book and does sound like something that Sarah Ferguson would write or tell her children.

StayCurious Did you go to an actual play? Cool! 3mo
Charityann @StayCurious No, it‘s a movie on Peacock. I just happened to catch the moment they were printing flyers for a ballet they were doing in the movie. 3mo

“You had to stand in the very front part of the wing against the black curtain“

I would integrate this book in my classroom because the book integrates being a graphic novel with a more feminine sport such as dancing. The duality of it is very interesting and I think would be great to be in my classroom!
