Bookroo's summary

Zuri Ray is always ready for a challenge, but when her best friend Jessie invites her to ballet camp, she hesitates. Ballet's tight buns and frilly tutus aren't her style. Can Zuri find a way to support her friend without losing herself? Discover how Zuri adds her own twist to classical ballet, proving that staying true to oneself is the ultimate dance. Will she find her rhythm or stumble in the spotlight?

From the publisher

From New York Times bestselling author Tami Charles and rising star illustrator Sharon Sordo comes the first book in a charming picture book series about a fun, spunky girl with a huge heart! Meet Zuri Ray. She’s always willing to go the extra mile for family and friends and is up for any challenge. At least, that was before her best friend, Jessie, asked her to join a ballet camp. Now Zuri isn’t sure if she’s up for everything. While Jessie can’t wait to chassé and plié while wearing tight hair buns and frilly tutus, that doesn’t sound like Zuri at all! But she can’t let her friend down. Maybe classical ballet just needs a new spin . . . Perfect for fans of Fancy Nancy and Fresh Princess, Zuri Ray Tries Ballet encourages kids to follow their hearts and stay true to themselves!
