Dancing in the Wings Paperback – Picture Book, 1 Dec. 2003

My daugther is happy with this book . She does ballet and could tell you all about the characters feels and expressed her emotions. It's nice see books that represents young black girls. It was easy for her to read because she loves to read and is 8 years old

Just what my granddaughter wanted as she loves ballet

I very much enjoyed reading the story to my Grandaughters which encourages children to go after their dreams, even if they don't think they are good enough.

I love the fact that it about a little black girl enjoying and teaching dream

Wonderful story. Enjoyable to read. Lots of positive messages. A tall beautiful girl is teased as she stands out because of her long legs & big feet. However she is able to use these features to make her stand out in a ballet competition. Great ending & beautifully illustrated. I was worried that it was a detailed story for school starters, but they loved it & couldn't wait for the next page. Amazing talented writer. I ll be looking for more books from her.

A lovely illustrated book and storyline.

Well received by the 8 yo girl it was bought for

This book is uplifting,motivational and inspirational.This story teaches young girls to believe in themselves and to persevere in difficult times.The illustrations are lovely my niece loves it.

本当に素敵な絵本に出会うと、子供のように目を輝かせてワクワクしてしまいます。この絵本の紹介をkadir nelson（イラストレーター）のhpで観た時、まさに素敵な絵本に出会った時の症状になった私です！読みたい思いが抑えきれず即購入しましたが、期待を裏切らない素晴らしい作品でした。自分の欠点と思うことを視点を変えて見る時、それは素敵な個性となります。debbi allenのポジティヴなメッセージに本当に最高！と思わず言ってしまうkadir nelsonのイラストが生き生きとし、読む者の心を捉えてなりません。女の子に夢と希望と信じる力を与えてくれる一冊です。

Sweetly told story about a girl who wants to be a ballerina and just needs the right encouragement.
