Avis des lecteurs
- (4/5)This book is beautiful! The illustrations steal the show, but the text about young Anna working through adversity to get what she wants and then sharing her passion with the world doesn't drag the pictures down at all.
- (3/5)The writing and illustrations themselves are evocative of Anna Pavlova herself! Very beautiful and could be a great inspiration for young dancers.
