Ready to Fly: How Sylvia Townsend Became the Bookmobile Ballerina by Alexandria Lafaye, Lea Lyon

5.0

This book has absolutely gorgeous illustrations that almost remind me of Vashti Harrison whom I love. An absolute must-have for any library and great for personal collections. It is a celebration of the power of books to change lives. Sylvia Townsend Became one of the first black ballerinas and she was self-taught out of books from her local bookmobile. She then taught other Black girls in her neighborhood who also couldn’t learn since Black girls were not allowed in ballet school.
