Misty Copeland is such a wonderful role model so I jumped on the chance of purchasing this book for $7 from the JLG winter sale. It is a wonderful biography with short chapters and beautiful photographs that all students can enjoy. I loved the quotes and sidebars added throughout so you can learn even more about her.
