@therealdebbieallen realness all wrapped up in a book! @kadirnelson and these illustrations, tho! 😍 What's your #nerdling reading after school? #bnplit #bnpnerdlings #dancinginthewings

I wish that this book would’ve been out when I was in 3rd or 4th grade (1996/1997). Minus the talent of ballet dancing 😄, I could relate to the main character so much. I was the tallest kid in my class until the 8th grade. Being able to read something about a tall girl owning her height, probably would’ve helped me own my height a little bit, instead of being ashamed of it.

This is a very inspirational story. 😊

#BooksILove : Reading was incredibly important to my mother and I. Everynight before bed we would read #picturebooks and overtime we accumulated a sizable #bookcollection but there were very few books with characters that looked like me in them. When my mom had come across #BrothersoftheKnight and then its follow up #DancingintheWings they became instant favorites of mine. Created out of the collaboration of artist @kadirnelson and Choreographer/Actress/Dancer/ Author @therealdebbieallen "Dancing" and "Brother" gave voice and visibility #peopleofcolor.... specifically to kids like me, who loved getting the chance to actually see themselves in their pictures books! #booksandbobbins #BookClubofChampions #LetsRead #representationmatters #amplifymelanatedvoices #dance #read #love https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_OPSsAZ5Z/?igshid=1alyhcl7t2shn
