| book description |

Lyrical, inspiring, and affecting text paired with bright, appealingÂ illustrations makeÂ Ready to FlyÂ perfect for aspiring ballerinas everywhere who are ready to leap and to spread their wings! Ready to FlyÂ is the true story of Sylvia Townsend, an African American girl who falls in love with ballet after seeingÂ Swan LakeÂ on TV.Â This nonfiction picture book is an excellent choice to share at home or in the classroom.Â Although there arenâ€™t many ballet schools that will accept a girl like Sylvia in the 1950s, her local bookmobile provides another possibility. A librarian helps Sylvia find a book about ballet and the determined seven-year-old, with the help of her new books, starts teaching herself the basics of classical ballet. Soon Sylvia learns how to flyâ€”how to danceâ€”and how to dare to dream. Includes a foreword from Sylvia Townsend, a brief history of the bookmobile, an authorâ€™s note, and a further reading list.
