Young Debbie Allen is destined for fame, and soon everyone will know her name. Growing up during the Civil Rights Movement in the Jim Crow South, Debbie faced immense obstacles. Local dance schools refused to let her in, but she refused to give up on her dreams.
To give her daughter a chance to shine, Debbie's mother moved the family to Mexico so Debbie could study ballet. Returning to Texas with fierce determination, Debbie broke barriers to become the first Black dancer admitted to the Houston Ballet Foundation, launching a legendary career.
This uplifting, poetic biography celebrates a living icon of dance. Young readers will be inspired by this true story of resilience, creativity, and the power of believing in yourself when the world tries to hold you back.
