Ballet Brown (an Original Picture Book)

Bellen Woodard adores ballet and always looks forward to reaching new heights. Though as a very young dancer, she notices that pink shoes and pink or white tights ― often referred to as ballet pink ― are synonymous with ballet. She realizes that the purpose of "ballet pink" is to blend with a dancer's arms and legs. What about welcoming brown tights, shoes -- and more -- in the same way? 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 colors of dance" ― coining a new term in the process and naming it "ballet brown."

This second inspirational picture book from Bellen Woodard is an immediate call to action from a teen leader to children, families, and studios. She shows us all just how much someone's "right-fit" matters and how a child's action and courage to stand tall can better our world!
