This warm and inviting picture book, cowritten with Catherine Laudone and brightly illustrated by Natelle Quek, takes young readers along on Sydneyâs journeyâ"through the joyous ups as well as the crushing downsâ"and tells the story of how through it all, she kept dancing.

No two dances were the same. Each one was beautiful because it was differentâ"just like how Sydneyâs body was also beautiful because it was different.

Sydney Mesher was born with ten toes and five fingers. But it was her toes that her mom noticed first. "I can tell sheâs going to be a dancer," she said.

And it turned out Mom was rightâ"after years of hard work, Sydney eventually danced her way onto the famous stage of Radio City Music Hall, becoming the first Rockette with a visible disability.
