Overview
Three inspiring stories, all in one book! When Misty Copeland was a young girl, she was told she had a gift for ballet but didn’t have a dancer’s body. Instead of giving up, she worked harder and became the first African American principal dancer for the American Ballet Theater. And Lin-Manuel Miranda couldn’t decide whether he wanted to be a writer, singer, actor, or songwriter, so he became all of them. Finally, Mae Jemison was a respected physician who decided to make a career change and follow her dream—she became the first African American female astronaut. You should meet these three amazing people!
