Why read it?
1 author picked My Ancestors' Wildest Dreams as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I personally enjoyed it because it showcased young Black ballerinas having fun. It taught me that we can be just about anything in life. I would prefer this book to a friend or a parent to give to their young daughter(s) and teach them that being a ballerina is beautiful.
