(3) 4-6 This narrative biography of Chinese ballerina Li Zhongmei (written by her husband) follows her difficult childhood journey in 1978 to audition for the Beijing Dance Academy and her first year at the school. Bernstein emphasizes young Zhongmei's persistence against frequently overwhelming odds and her passion for her art. Aspiring dancers will be inspired by Zhongmei's story. An eight-page color insert is included.
