Swan: The Life and Dance of Anna Pavlova by Laurel Snyder
The world is big.
Anna is small.
The snow is everywhere and all around.
But one night . . .
One night, her mother takes her to the ballet, and everything is changed-Anna finds a beauty inside herself that she cannot contain. So begins the journey of a girl who will one day grow up to be the most famous prima ballerina of all time, and who will inspire legions of dancers after her: the brave, the generous, the transcendently gifted Anna Pavlova.
