“You had to stand in the very front part of the wing against the black curtain“

I would integrate this book in my classroom because the book integrates being a graphic novel with a more feminine sport such as dancing. The duality of it is very interesting and I think would be great to be in my classroom!

Siena dreams of becoming a dancer and makes her way from a beach near her home in Puerto Rico to Boston all the way to the New York City Ballet. Shares about her dreams and a dancer's beginnings.

An incredible true story.
FULL REVIEW: http://abookandateacup.blogspot.com/2021/01/review-taking-flight.html

A wonderful memoir. Georgina is relatable, open, and humorous. She held a light to a lot of the toxic and harmful culture of ballet, but also allows the beauty of dance to shine through. I found her inspirational and admired her talent and dedication, even more so with being the first Asian-American soloist for her company.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
