Dancing in the Wings

I purchased this book for my 8 year old daughter. Wow!! It was so wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated. As she read it aloud, I became more and more interested in the story. Its funny and inspiring. We both enjoyed it. I'll be looking for books by this author. 👍🏼

Sweetly told story about a girl who wants to be a ballerina and just needs the right encouragement.

If you have a little one who loves ballet, then they'll love this story by Debbie Allen. The books navigates the life of a little ballerina who so desperately wants to be perfect in every aspect of her sport, but has to overcome her challenges. I don't want to give the whole story away, but the book is a very good tool to reinforce courage, determination and will power. A must read.

I haven't read it yet, but we love the pics.

Gave it to a friend as a gift. She loved it. Arrived in great condition.

Young readers interested in dance have a small selection to choose from. This book will be flying out of our little library for years to come. What a well done storyline with beautiful illustrations, and humor!

My grandchildren love this book every time I read it to them. It is a story of encouragement.

My 3 year old really enjoys this books a great read for little black princess’s

This book is uplifting,motivational and inspirational.This story teaches young girls to believe in themselves and to persevere in difficult times.The illustrations are lovely my niece loves it.

My daugther is happy with this book . She does ballet and could tell you all about the characters feels and expressed her emotions. It's nice see books that represents young black girls. It was easy for her to read because she loves to read and is 8 years old

本当に素敵な絵本に出会うと、子供のように目を輝かせてワクワクしてしまいます。この絵本の紹介をkadir nelson（イラストレーター）のhpで観た時、まさに素敵な絵本に出会った時の症状になった私です！読みたい思いが抑えきれず即購入しましたが、期待を裏切らない素晴らしい作品でした。自分の欠点と思うことを視点を変えて見る時、それは素敵な個性となります。debbi allenのポジティヴなメッセージに本当に最高！と思わず言ってしまうkadir nelsonのイラストが生き生きとし、読む者の心を捉えてなりません。女の子に夢と希望と信じる力を与えてくれる一冊です。

I bought this book for my daughter for Christmas because she loves ballet but it is hard to find books that feature black ballerinas. This book is beautifully written and illustrated. It is really a joy to read.
