Seller's Description:
Christopher Myers color illustrations. New in New jacket. Book CONDITION: NO CD ISSUED WITH THIS EDITION/PRINTING. Unread 2014 Penguin Random House large hardcover (pictorial boards) & dust jacket, first edition, 3rd printing. Beautiful, colorful illustrations by Christopher Myers. Decorated end pages. CONTENT: A poetic dialogue between an aspiring young dancer and the American Ballet Theater's soloist comprises the text of this stunning picture book. Copeland provides words of encouragement to boost the dreams of an African American girl whose desire to be a ballerina is hampered by her low self-image and lack of confidence. "I was a dancer just like you, " Misty tells her, "a dreaming shooting star of a girl/with work and worlds ahead." Copeland's title role in Stravinsky's The Firebird serves as the theme for Myers's signature paint and collage illustrations, which feature full spreads bursting with color and excitement. Elongated forms and slanted geometric shapes are infused with a color palette of browns, yellows, and fiery reds contrasted with cool blues, purples, and splashes of white. Scenes of dynamic action and quiet serenity work together to move the narrative forward, leaving readers with a sense of hope for the future of the young dancer. The author includes a note that discusses her own struggle and need for affirmation, acknowledging those who helped her along the way. A very successful collaboration, appealing to all and particularly valuable to collections on the performing arts. Music by Igor Stravinsky based on a Russian Folk Tale. Grades 2-4.
