Firebird : ballerina Misty Copeland shows a young girl how to dance like the firebird
Misty Copeland (Author), Christopher Myers (Illustrator)
With spare, poignant text, American Ballet Theatre soloist Misty Copeland writes of a young dancer whose confidence is fragile. Through hard work and dedication, Misty shows her how she can reach the same heights as Misty, even becoming the Firebird, Misty Copeland's signature role. An affecting story echoing Misty Copeland's own remarkable and meteoric rise in ballet, paired with vibrant, memorable art with plenty of style and flair--some of Caldecott Honoree Christopher Myers's best work. A must-have for any lover of ballet--From dust jacket
