This is a great easy read for young readers. This book is a very simple informational text and it gives a detailed look into misty Copelands life. I would use this book with my students to show them the importance of informational texts and introduce them to knew influential people who they have maybe never heard of such as misty Copeland. This would be an easy way to introduce them to informational texts ands make them fun and enjoyable. ( )

This book gives a brief, but detailed recount of Misty Copeland's climb to the top of the ballet scene. It shows her life when she was young and gives details that are relatable to some children and also shares details about her life that would give young girls and boys who want to explore a sport but don't exactly fit the box that athletes are put into, the courage to do so.
