• Although I purchased this book for my children, I could not put it down.
  
  I had never hear Maria Tallchief's story. We get a very balanced view of her life. It tells of the hardships she endured without overemphasizing them. It is a very honest book and does not hide what some might find to be the uncomfortable events of her life.
  
  Yet, while the authors include hardships, they focus on her successes and how the various choices and people in her life had a part in helping her succeed. Her father was an alcoholic, but they portray him as a whole person. Her mother was very driven in her desire to see her daughters succeed, but the reader still has compassion for her.
  
  I love how Maria remained friends with Balanchine after their divorce.
  
  I admire how she did not let prejudice stop her from trying to build a bridge between the two cultures in which she lived.
  
  Due to some of the content, you may want to read the book to your younger children. This way you can discuss some of the difficult events together. But there is no way the information is written in a rough or gratuitous manner. I highly recommend this book.
• This series of biographies is terrific. They are styled like graphic novels, but loaded with detail.
  
  Confession I didn't know who Maria Tallchief was until my daughter read this book for a third grade book report. Not only was she America's first prima ballerina, but she was also Native American. It was quite an inspiring story for any little girl. The story follows her life through modern day. She still teaches dance.
  
  Any young person between third and sixth grade would enjoy it, little girls in particular.
• Informative
• Well written and most interesting, I bought it for my grandsons who live in Osage County.
• This is a good biography series for early chapter book readers. There are a lot of picture books that are biographies and there are a lot of chapter books, but this is one of the few in-between series.
• This book was pefect for my fifth grader. It was AR approved, age appropriate and had presented the information in a manner that kept my reader interested in the story.
• Very informative book on Maria Tallchief. I think there is more information that could have been put in here but nonetheless it was short, informative and easy to read.
• Educational
