Beautiful Photography and Wonderful Story

I am a dancer and I absolutely loved this book! It had beautiful photography and really informs the reader about what an aspiring ballerina's life is really like. I have read it a few times and I never get tired of it. It just sparks my interest everytime. Even if you are not a dancer, this book will appeal to everyone!

beautiful

I Am a Dancer is a beautiful book. It follows a 13 year old aspiring ballerina who lives and studies in New York City. The book is mostly photos that show Eva's life as a student and a ballet dancer. It really is a neat look at what it's like growing up in ballet and being onstage, as well as the everyday hard work and dedication that ballet takes.

Perfect mix of a young girl's dream with measured reality.

Wonderful photos! This book is an enchanting blend of the stuff that a young girl's dreams are made of and the real work that it takes to make them come true. Anyone with a dream, young or old, can benefit by experiencing the one so marvelously shared in this book.

This book was an uplifting experience for a grandmother.

Jane Feldman has captured the essence of a young girl's dream. The storyline is faithful to the development of a dream. The photographs are truly beautiful. This is Central Park as we wish it would be. I am eagerly awaiting the publication of "I am a Rider". Future dreams may be "I am" an astronaut, a teacher, even a volunteer. The list is endless, and I expect to hear and see more of Jane Feldman.
