Evelyn Cisneros: Prima Ballerina

32 pp. | Capstone | August, 2006 | Library ISBN 0-7368-6416-4 $22.60
(4) K-3 Fact Finders: Biographies: Great Hispanics series. This clearly written biography touches lightly on issues faced by ballet dancers, including long hours of practice and training, and their early retirement. Krohn also mentions Cisneros's difficulties with prejudice as a Mexican American dancer. Photographs of Cisneros's elegant arabesque and other career pictures are captivating; other photos are less effective. The simple text will aid struggling readers. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
