Paro comes from a dancing family. At home, she dances Bharatanatyam with her mom, and now she’s excited to learn ballet! But what if she can’t dance like the other kids in her class? Paro thinks ballerinas move like fairies, while Bharatanatyam dancers seem like queens. She can’t be both...can she? Read along with Paro as she navigates the intersections of different cultural identities and explores her love of dancing and her cultural identity in this lively picture book with echoes of the real-life collaboration between Bharatanatyam icon Rukmini Devi Arundale and ballerina Anna Pavlova!
