This story of an aspiring ballerina uses the word "promise" to represent personal talent and a commitment to work hard. The illustrations are colorful and full of interesting details, and the story shows a girl's love for ballet, challenging audition, growth through making mistakes, and joy over pursuing her dreams. The illustrations are racially diverse and picture multiple male dancers in addition to women and girls.

The story will mainly appeal to aspiring dancers and their families, and doesn't have much reach beyond that, but parents and educators can also use this as a way to introduce children to the art of ballet and the importance of a growth mindset.
