Bunheads is another beautiful picture book about a special dancer, Misty Copeland. It is also a true story to inspire the little dancers & ballerina's to be, but very different from Michaela Deprince's.
Hopefully young readers will understand that very hard work is a requirement in ballet but that the talent has to be there first. With both Misty Copeland and Michaela Deprince this is obviously the case.
The dynamic prints in the book are by the Ghanaian illustrator Setor Fiadzigbey. His work jumps off the page, just like the little dancers. The expressions on the faces make you sympathize with the story. A beautiful gift for young dancers, this book, we can warmly recommend it!
3 bright shining stars for Bunheads, from the out-loud readers and their young listeners!
