About the Book

Inspired by the author's own experiences as a Latina dancer, Lupita's Brown Ballet Slippers follows Lupita as she searches for a pair of ballet slippers that will match her skin tone, only to discover it will take hard work--and messy measures.

Book Synopsis

Everyone deserves to shine.

Lupita's big ballet recital is approaching. The music is perfect. Her ballet moves are strong. But her peachy pink ballet slippers don't match her skin tone. Lupita searches for the right pair only to discover it will take hard work--and messy measures--in order for her shoes to dance with her.

Inspired by the author's own experiences as a Latina dancer, Lupita's Brown Ballet Slippers is a charming story filled with determination. The final few spreads teach readers about the history of ballet slippers as well as the crucial changes the industry has seen for dancers of all races and ethnicities.
