To Dance

I loved this book!! The images add so much to it.  The text is so short and simple, but combined with the images it is so powerful! I could completely relate to Siena in this story.  Her dream as a child, and her journey to continue her progress and dream of bigger things as she grew.  I loved her comparison of ballet to the football game…I understand that, I see running in everything I do.  Her fast forward page broke my heart, because I felt every image that was depicted.  The images of her meals as she grew broke my heart, and seeing her injuries and continuing hard work pictured together was something I could completely relate to.  But, the ending couldn’t have been better. seeing her enjoying what she loves again and saying “Dancing fills a space in me” was perfect. :)

I felt a strong connection to this graphic novel, and loved everything about it.  It’s such a unique way to tell a story and definitely is a powerful presentation.
