A beautifully refreshed and expanded special edition of the Sibert
Honor-winning graphic memoir about the dreams and realities of becoming
a ballerina.
Ballerinas are young when they first dream of dance. Siena was six--and
her dreams kept skipping and leaping, circling and spinning, from airy
runs along a beach near her home in Puerto Rico, to dance classes at the
School of American Ballet, to her debut performance on stage with the
New York City Ballet while working with ballet legend George Balanchine.
Part family history, part backstage drama, this beautifully updated
graphic memoir--which features a refreshed design and a brand-new
scrapbook of Siena's mementoes--is an original, firsthand look a young
dancer's beginnings.
