To Dance


Book: To Dance: a ballerina's graphic novel by Siena and Mark Siegel
Finished: April
Pages: 56
Challenges:

This was a delightful little story. It tells the story of the author, Siena, and her life of dance from the very beginning as a young child to the bittersweet end at age 18 due to a severe ankle injury. It also tells the story of the stress and pressure the world of dance put on her family as she was growing up.
The illustrations were very expressive and added immense depth to the simple storyline. I really enjoyed the colors used and the graphic layout. This is one that I can highly recommend to anyone--even people who don't think they like graphic novels!
