To Dance: A Ballerina’s Graphic Novel, by Siena Cherson SiegelRead about the other books on the list.
Siena was only six when she decided she wanted to become a ballerina. When a doctor told her that she had flat feet and could never be a dancer, she refused to give up on her dream. Her journey took her from Puerto Rico to Boston and beyond, and from a young girl to a young woman, as she dedicated herself to pursuing a career in ballet. The unusual graphic novel format is surprisingly well-suited to the story.
