Bookroo's summary
A young girl, uncertain of her potential, questions if she can achieve greatness. Guided by Misty Copeland's inspiring words, she learns that with dedication and belief, she too can become a Firebird. This lyrical tale, paired with striking illustrations, invites aspiring ballerinas to embrace their dreams and rise above self-doubt. Will she find the courage to dance her way to the top?
From the publisher
In her debut picture book, Misty Copeland tells the story of a young girl–an every girl–whose confidence is fragile and who is questioning her own ability to reach the heights that Misty has reached. Misty encourages this young girl’s faith in herself and shows her exactly how, through hard work and dedication, she too can become Firebird.
Lyrical and affecting text paired with bold, striking illustrations that are some of Caldecott Honoree Christopher Myers’s best work, makes Firebird perfect for aspiring ballerinas everywhere.
