Tallchief: America's Prima Ballerina

32 pp. | Viking | October, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-670-88756-0 $$15.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Gary Kelley. Kelley uses pastels to capture the drama of the dance, both in its studio discipline and in its evanescent beauty, while the frankly honest, even immodest, Tallchief reflects on her gifts in the first-person narrative. Her single-minded passion, conveyed in a clear, occasionally poetic text, will hold appeal and meaning for an audience beyond that of hopeful ballerinas.
