"""The wonderful thing about Ballet with Heart is that it is inclusive both to children of colour but also offering a unique representation of boys of colour in a ballet setting. Try as I might, I could not find another book with a black boy ballet dancer, which highlights the need for books just like this. Ballet with Heart is also elegantly subtle in its quest for diversity, without mentioning colour or gender, and creates a safe space for children to just enjoy the story whilst seeing other children just like them on the pages."""
