From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author and
American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Misty Copeland comes an
illustrated nonfiction collection celebrating dancers of color who
have influenced her on and off the stage. As a young girl living in
a motel with her mother and her five siblings, Misty Copeland
didn't have a lot of exposure to ballet or prominent dancers. She
was sixteen when she saw a black ballerina on a magazine cover for
the first time. The experience emboldened Misty and told her that
she wasn't alone-and her dream wasn't impossible. In the years
since, Misty has only learned more about the trailblazing women who
made her own success possible by pushing back against repression
and racism with their talent and tenacity. Misty brings these
women's stories to a new generation of readers and gives them the
recognition they deserve. With an introduction from Misty about the
legacy these women have had on dance and on her career itself, this
book delves into the lives and careers of women of color who
fundamentally changed the landscape of American ballet from the
early 20th century to today.
