pickInspiring true story of an African girl who is adopted by an American and works hard to become a ballerina. Great illustrations. White dance teachers try to get her to quit ballet and dance jazz or hip-hop, but she never gives up on her dreams. This true story includes a positive portrayal of international, transracial adoption, so if that offends you, ok, pass on this one. #blackhistory #blackauthors #kidlit

so-so4🌟 I did enjoy this adult romance, though didn‘t stand out among my other reads. These two are adorable, with a lot going on between them. Mainly due to side characters. Love their careers being in books, though I admit the romance felt odd. He hid, so much of his side, that it just dragged on. Slow burn, yet longer; as I started having trouble starting committed the more it dragged on. Wish Nick got more screen time with his family trauma.
