Our November book of the month is “Dancing in the Wings”, which is about Sassy, a girl who doesn’t quite fit in with her classmates. Sassy is tall, gangly, and has big feet. Sometimes the other students even tease her. However, this doesn’t stop Sassy. She has a dream to be a ballerina and she has the determination.
This is a great book for young children. It addresses that teasing is an unfortunate part of childhood, but it also shows that you don’t have to be like everyone else in order to fit in. It is also a wonderful tool to celebrate our differences and show that drive is more important than any obstacle.
We hope you enjoy this uplifting tale about celebrating differences and following dreams!
