    Praise

    ★ ”The storytelling is tight, brisk, and still lyrical. The scenes are thrilling, crowded with tiny hopeful dancers in their leotards and ballet slippers, or older dancers in toe shoes. A celebration of dance, dreams, and hard work, from the inside out, and a book that delivers on its promise.” —School Library Journal

    “The creators render a lively paean to passion and persistence via a sympathetic protagonist who knows that ‘This is where I want to be.’” —Publishers Weekly
     
    “A delightful, inspiring introduction to the world of dance.” —Kirkus Reviews

    “Based on Glasser’s childhood experience of falling during her audition for the American Ballet Theatre Summer Intensive, and filled with her signature exuberant art, the story, written by Glasser with Weitzman, follows a passionate young New York City ballet dancer vying for a spot in the company’s summer program.”  —Krystyna Poray Goddu, Publishers Weekly
