Firebird por Misty Copeland
This book is about a dancer, who is not very confident, and through her hard work and dedication becomes an amazing dancer. I think that this book could be a great read aloud to help show kids that they should follow their dreams and if they work hard, they can do anything. I think this would be a great book for elementary age students.
Young Misty is a bit nervous at her first day of ballet class, but she quickly catches on and dreams of playing the role of Swanilda in the dance school's upcoming recital of Coppélia.
This is a very sweet picture book, encouraging young readers to make friends, dream big, work hard, and pursue those dreams. The illustrations fit the story well. I could easily see this book becoming a favorite of little ones who love dancing.

I find Misty Copeland incredibly inspiring. I loved hearing her talk....was it in a webinar? Was it an ALA video? I don't remember now. But I like what she has to share. So I did find this book fun. Now, it will not really appeal to those who don't love ballet (because that is the focus: getting ready for a ballet, ballet moves, etc.)
However, I want to mention that the illustrator, Setor Fiadzigbey, was a debut illustrator. I thought he captured the mystery of Coppelia ( the ballet being done) with browns and white and contrast. He captured the passion and the movement of the ballet =) I look forward to seeing what Fiadzigbey does in the future.… (mais)
