Why did Deborah's 8-year-old love this book?
My baby girl is an aspiring ballerina. Misty Copeland is her dance idol. Firebird is a picture book, and the artwork is spectacular. The language is simplistic, but the message is powerful. Children learn they can do all things with hard work and dedication.
I loved everything about this book, and so did my little reader.
1 author picked Firebird as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it. This book is for kids age 5, 6, 7, and 8.
In her debut picture book Misty Copeland tells the story of a young girl - an every girl - whose confidence is fragile and who is questioning her own ability to reach the heights that Misty has reached. Misty encourages this young girl's faith in herself and shows her exactly how, through hard work and dedication, she too can become Firebird. Lyrical and affecting text paired with bold, striking illustrations that are some of Caldecott Honouree Christopher Myers' best work, makes Firebird perfect for aspiring ballerinas everywhere.
