The dance of courage / Misty Copeland ; illustrated by Setor Fiadzigbey.
Misty and her bunhead crew are back! And this time, they're excited to learn the ballet Don Quixote--a wondrous tale about a brave knight searching for his Dulcinea, his one true love. Misty's best friend, Cat, loves this ballet most of all. She thinks Don Quixote's quest to find love is romantic, but she also knows the story's real hero is Kitri, the daughter of an innkeeper, who boldly defies her father to marry for love instead of money. The class is spellbound as Cat tells them the story, and their teacher agrees Don Quixote is the perfect next ballet for their class to perform. The bunheads get right to work learning the ballet. Misty hopes to land the role of Cupid, and she knows the role of the strong-willed Kitri could only be played by Cat. But when Cat is injured and unable to perform, she weathers her disappointment with courage and a dose of girl power that would make Kitri proud.
