Dancing in the Wings

Written by Debbie Allen
Pictures by Kadir Nelson

In some ways this is the familiar story of a spunky girl who, despite obstacles, finds the courage to believe in herself & make her dreams come true. I know that this sounds like a story that you have heard before, but Sassy, the main character, gives this old story line a fresh, fun spin with her snappy dialogue & energy that makes this version worth the read. This book will especially hit home for any girl who was ever the tallest in her class & felt like her towering height & big feet would always make her stand out.
