   Just right
I bought this book for a six-year-old biracial dancer who attends ballet classes. I was already familiar with Georges '' s story, but this retelling quite simply brought me to tears. It is really very appropriate and is very poetic for its intended audience. We loved this book very much and recommend it highly.

   Inspiring and beautiful true story!
I bought it for my daughter, who wants to be a ballerina. Although it is for older children, young children can also benefit from the story. Despite her rough beginning, Michaela was determined to become a ballerina and she did! She thanks her adoptive mother for helping her pursue her dreams. Book is great!

My first and second year students really love this book. It is an inspiring story of Mikaela DePrince, who was adopted from Africa and is a current ballerina. First graders may need some help reading the book, but they were motivated to try.

   Amazing
So surprising to have a children's book written with such a compelling plot. My child and I both enjoyed it despite the fact that she said : This is about a girl, I don 't like it when we sat to read it first.
