Bookroo's summary
Mimi adores her mama's dance class, but when another girl arrives in a pink tutu, Mimi feels overshadowed. Her family crafts a stunning lapa skirt, connecting her to her African roots and helping her rediscover her confidence. Will Mimi embrace her heritage and shine on the dance floor?
From the publisher
Mimi loves going to her mama’s dance class. Especially when Mama lets her dance with the adults. Mimi is so proud of herself – her poise, her rhythmic movement, and her leotard. Until one day, another little girl comes to dance class in a beautiful, fluffy pink tutu. Luckily, Mimi’s mama, aunts and grandmothers have the perfect solution. An exquisite handmade lapa skirt will make Mimi shine – and connect her to her African heritage.
