TheLudicReader Never heard of it! 😂 1mo

merelybookish @ShelleyBooksie You're the second person whose told me that! 1mo

merelybookish @TheLudicReader Maybe "classic" is a bit strong! But some people do remember it with fondness! 1mo

Becoming a Ballerina: The Story of Michaela Mabinty Deprince | Laura Obuobi

pick

Inspiring 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
