What the critics say
"Michaela had to contend with the negative impacts of having vitiligo (an obstacle in getting adopted) and the racism attached to being a Black dancer in the very white world of ballet. The text does an admirable job of drawing attention to these challenges without losing sight of Michaela’s refusal to let such things stop her. Fact boxes impart additional historical context and ballet insights to help readers better understand the significance of Michaela’s achievements." (Julia Smith)
