In a Sierra Leone dust storm, ballet swooped into Michaela
Mabinty DePrince’s life and never let her go. After her
adoption brought her to the United States, ballet continued to
be the consoling hand that guided Michaela, filling her with
joy and hope. Over time, Michaela’s love for ballet only grew,
and with it her dream of becoming a professional dancer.
However, there were peers who told Michaela she didn’t belong
in the ballet world, that her skin and vitiligo made her too
different. But ballet had stirred in Michaela a faith and
determination that would help her turn her dreams into a
reality.Book, 40 pages.
