| 1 | My Little Golden Book About Misty Copeland | 2022 | Sherri L. Smith | Buy |
This entry in the Little Golden Book line tells the story of Misty Copeland, who became the first Black principal dancer at American Ballet Theatre. Written by Sherri L. Smith, the book traces Copeland’s path from her childhood in San Pedro, California, to the stages of the world’s most famous ballet companies.
The Little Golden Book format makes the story accessible for very young readers, with short, clear text and bright illustrations. It fits well alongside Smith’s broader interest in telling stories about people who broke barriers and challenged expectations.
