Description
Once upon a time there have been five little girls who shared a dream. They wanted to be ballerinas and dance on stage like their sisters and cousins and friends.
But it could be hard for these girls to make their dream come true. That they had cerebral palsy or other physical disabilities, which meant their muscles did not move the way in which they wanted them to. Some wore leg braces. Some used wheelchairs and walkers to get around. But these girls were decided. That they had a dedicated teacher. Each week they practiced. They worked hard. And sooner or later they were in a position.
Ballerina Dreams is an inspiring true story of love, hope and courage for everyone and any person who has ever wished (and worked) hard enough to make their dreams come true.
Ballerina Dreams is the winner of the 2008 Bank Street – Flora Stieglitz Award.
