A breathtakingly illustrated biography of the first modern dancer.When Isadora Duncan was a young child, her mother brought her for ballet lessons. Isadora thought standing on her toes was ugly. ?I dreamed of a different dance? she said. Soon Isadora's mother found her teaching half a dozen babies to wave their arms in the air. By the time of her death, Isadora had a following of personally trained students and was revered as a performer throughout the Western world. Caldecott Honor-winner Rachel Isadora's expressive illustrations are the perfect complement for the life of an artist who was a true original, and her text makes accessible to young readers the work of a woman who forever changed the course of dance.'A handsome introduction.'? Booklist for Young Mozart
