"to dance a ballerina's graphic novel" by Siena Cherson Siegel

How many of you took dance lessons when you were a little child? Did it make you want to just dance all the time? If you did not and are wondering why someone would want to take up dancing, then "to dance" is the story you need to read. In this graphic novel, a story told with pictures if you did not know what that was, Siena Siegel takes you on her personal journey of becoming a dancer. The pictures tell as much of the story as her words do. You follow her from her home in Puerto Rico to New York and back again until the family decides to move to New York permanently for Siena to study dance. What was it like to go to school, then to dance classes, and then repeat for 5 days a week. Talk about dedication. To find out more, read the book.
