An inspiring and profoundly moving story about speaking up for yourself and creating healthy spaces from acclaimed CEO, author, and activist Bellen Woodard, creator of the More than Peach project.
Bellen Woodard adores ballet and always looks forward to reaching new heights. Though as a very young dancer, she notices that pink shoes and pink or white tights ― often referred to as ballet pink ― are synonymous with ballet. She realizes that the purpose of ”ballet pink” is to blend with a dancer’s arms and legs. What about welcoming brown tights, shoes ― and more ― in the same way? When her dance studio doesn’t act, Bellen takes matters into her own hands and creates a way for all of us to see the “many beautiful colors of dance” ― coining a new term in the process and naming it “ballet brown.”
This second inspirational picture book from Bellen Woodard is an immediate call to action from a teen leader to children, families, and studios. She shows us all just how much someone’s “right-fit” matters and how a child’s action and courage to stand tall can better our world!
