Dancer's dream

I think that this book was a really good book because, Alvin make his dream come true by dancing on a stage. I recommend this book to those people who wanted to dance and make their dreams come true.

DANCING TO HIS OWN BEAT: ALVIN AILEY

Readers may have heard the name "Alvin Ailey" but this book makes the man live. From the time he was a kid his life was music: at first in church. Alvin's moving, leaping body is caught perfectly in the scratchboard illustrations toned with watercolors and acrylic. A fine top choice biography of an African-American artist!
