"This sweet picture book is a fun departure from the typical ballet story. Sordo's bright, busy illustrations express the characters' personalities and moods with energy and pizzazz. A refreshing celebration of individuality, friendship, and exploration." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Radiating warmth and care, readers will adore the vividly animated characters and feel encouraged by Zuri Ray and her example of finding compassion for herself and practicing honesty in friendship. A wonderful addition to any collection." -- School Library Journal (starred review) "It's nice to see a variation on the traditional ballet take, one that resolves into a gentle comedy of fearless girlhood and friendship." -- Publishers Weekly "Get ready for a hilarious adventure with a memorable best-friend duo.This work is a great choice for units on friendship, managing conflict, and learning concepts related to personal interests and hobbies.
