Lyrical, inspiring, and affecting text paired with bright,
appealing illustrations make Ready to Fly perfect for aspiring
ballerinas everywhere who are ready to leap and to spread their
wings! Ready to Fly is the true story of Sylvia Townsend, an
African American girl who falls in love with ballet after seeing
Swan Lake on TV. This nonfiction picture book is an excellent
choice to share at home or in the classroom. Although there aren't
many ballet schools that will accept a girl like Sylvia in the
1950s, her local bookmobile provides another possibility. A
librarian helps Sylvia find a book about ballet and the determined
seven-year-old, with the help of her new books, starts teaching
herself the basics of classical ballet. Soon Sylvia learns how to
fly-how to dance-and how to dare to dream. Includes a foreword from
Sylvia Townsend, a brief history of the bookmobile, an author's
note, and a further reading list.
