BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Ina loves both basketball and ballet. She practices and learns the moves for each. When Ina plays a game in her pink tutu, another player criticizes her, but Ina doesn't let it bother her. She dances as she plays the game, using her ballet moves to help her team win.
I love that Ina is confident in herself and refuses to be defined by just one thing. She is dedicated and works hard at the things she loves. The rhyming text flows well and is enhanced by bright illustrations. Ina is white; the other dancers and basketball players are illustrated with diverse ethnicities and body shapes.
