Although many little girls dream of wearing tutus and performing ballet steps on stage, those dreams seemed destined to remain just a dream for children with severe neuromuscular diseases – until a certain physical therapist came along. In Ballerina Dreams, author Lauren Thompson tells the true story of how five young girls, ages three to seven, who have cerebral palsy and similar disorders realized their dream to learn ballet and perform a recital for family and friends. The text, accompanied by color photography by an award-winning photojournalist, is appropriate for preschoolers and young readers. Heartwarming without being stereotypically inspirational, this book is a joy.
About the reviewer: A former college librarian and occupational therapist who now writes about disability and companion animals, Sally Rosenthal shares her home with her guide dog, her polio survivor husband and his service dog, and a greatly outnumbered rescued family cat.
