An inspiring and profoundly moving story about speaking up for yourself and creating healthy spaces from acclaimed CEO, author, and activist Bellen Woodard, creator of the More than Peach project.
Bellen Woodard adores ballet and always looks forward to reaching new heights. Though as she moves through dance, she begins to notice that pink leotards, pink shoes, and pink or white tights—often referred to as ballet pink—are synonymous with ballet. But what about brown tights and shoes? When her dance studio doesn’t act, Bellen takes matters into her own hands and creates a way for all of us to see the ‘many beautiful colours of dance’—and she names it ballet brown. This second inspirational picture book from Bellen Woodard is all about standing up for what you know is right, even if the right decision is a difficult one.
SALES POINTS:
• More Than Peach, Bellen’s first picture book with us, published in 2021 and has garnered a starred review from School Library Journal.
• Bellen Woodard is the first crayon activist and an activist voice of her generation.
• Bellen has had speaking arrangements with The Henry Ford Global Invention Convention Keynote Speaker and Crayon Distribution to Global Attendees & Partners, Dubai Conference for Women’s Empowerment with Cartier, and NPR.
• Bellen was named a Time100 Voice for 2023.
• We are confident this ballet story will resonate with young readers!
• Kirkus described Bellen’s first picture book as an ‘inspirational look at one girl’s quest to make sure that all skin tones are visible and available in the classroom.’ Her book was also a 2023 NCSS-CBC Notable Social Studies Trade Books List Finalist!
