Dancig in the Wings was written by Debbie Allen and illustrated by Kadir Nelson. The story is about a young girl who gets made fun of for having huge feet. She is a dancer and all of the girls in her dancing class make rude comments to her during class. When it is time for an audition for a summer program, the young girl is nervous but takes her uncles advice to try her best and make her mark on the world. In the end, the young girl is accepted into the summer program because she had to courage to try. I really enjoyed reading this story. The way it was written made it feel so real. The dialogue was so very realistic and really seemed like something a girl her age would really say. The book was also very inspirational. The young girl dreamed of dancing on the milky way. This to me was a symbol of her spreading her wings to fly, to reach her dream. While reading this I just really felt like this story was true, like it really happened to someone. I loved the detail that the story had. Debbie Allen did an amazing job of using descriptive words that really helped me to paint a great picture in my head. I would definately recommend this story to everyone!
