Sassy worries that her too-large feet, too-long legs, and even her big
mouth will keep her from her dream of becoming a star ballerina. So for
now she's just dancing in the wings, watching from behind the curtain,
and hoping that one day it will be her turn to shimmer in the spotlight.
When the director of an important dance festival comes to audition her
class, Sassy's first attempts to get his attention are, well, a little
wobbly. But Sassy just knows, somehow, that this is her time to step out
from those wings, and make her mark on the world. Actress/choreographer
Debbie Allen and Kadir Nelson collaborated on Brothers of the
Knight, about which School Library Journal raved, the strutting
high-stepping brothers are full of individuality, attitude, and
movement.
