An interesting look into how Misty Copeland got to where she is today and her desire to inspire others.

Overall, I thought this was a good book. The writing itself wasn’t super strong. The timeline as presented was a bit erratic and confusing. It was also repetitive at times. The writing was pretty simplistic. But I thought the general story was interesting. It was cool to get a peak into what it takes to be a professional ballerina. 

I also liked Copeland’s focus on inspiring others and helping make the path easier for ballerinas and dancers of color. 

On the whole, the writing wasn’t the greatest, but it got the point across and the story itself was interesting. Includes a full-color photo spread in the middle of the book.
