Ballerina Dreams : A True Story

Once upon a time, there were five little girls who shared a dream. They wanted to be ballerinas and dance onstage like their sisters and cousins and friends. But it would be hard for these girls to make their dream come true. They had cerebral palsy or other physical disabilities, which meant their muscles didn't move the way they wanted them to. Some were leg braces. Some used wheelchairs and walkers to get around. But these girls were determined. And they had a dedicated teacher. Every week they practiced. They worked hard. And one day they were ready.
