I Am a Dancer

40 pp. | Random | March, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-679-88665-6 $$14.99
(4) K-3 Young Dreamers series. Clear black-and-white and color photos are accompanied by a thirteen-year-old ballet dancer's first-person narration. The work needed to become a professional dancer is included, but the motivation to work--the joy of dancing--is absent. Both text and photos emphasize the costumes and the glamour of being a dancer, providing an incomplete but nevertheless alluring picture.
