Clearance: Misty Copeland (You Should Meet, Ready-to-Read, Level 3)

Laurie Calkhoven

When Misty was a young girl, she was told she had a gift for ballet. But when Misty became a teenager, she was told she didn't have a dancer's body. Instead of giving up, she just worked harder and became the first African American principal dancer for the American Ballet Theater. You should meet Misty Copeland!
