Calliope Glass is a children’s book writer and editor in New York City. She likes to eat Popsicles, solve crossword puzzles, read comic books, and sing loudly. She has two small children, which is almost like having two pet bears but not as good.
Misty Copeland didn’t take up ballet until age 13, but by age 17, she was a professional. She was appointed ABT soloist at age 24, their first African American soloist in two decades. Driven by her newfound passion for the art, which she discovered at her local Boys & Girls Club, Misty accomplished so much in such a short amount of time through good old-fashioned hard work, discipline and unwavering belief in herself.
