Review: Four new books to inspire young readers
Brave Ballerina: The Story of Janet Collins “Brave Ballerina” begs to be read aloud. The book, by Michelle Meadows, tells the story of Janet Collins, a gifted dancer born in New Orleans in 1917, a time when many ballet companies would not accept a black artist.
Katy Wu’s digitally created illustrations add cartoonish energy and color. Jan Wahl’s “Hedy and Her Amazing Invention” proceeds in seven short chapters and may leave the slightly older reader wanting more. Either way, Morgana Wallace’s charming collage illustrations convey the intelligence and charisma of this newly appreciated pathbreaker.
