A girl explores her love of dancing and her cultural identity in a lively picture book with echoes of the real-life collaboration between Bharatanatyam icon Rukmini Devi Arundale and ballerina Anna Pavlova. Paro comes from a dancing family. At home, she dances Bharatanatyam with her mom, and now she' s excited to learn ballet. But what if she can' t dance like the other kids in her class? Ballerinas move like fairies, while Bharatanatyam dancers seem like queens. Paro can' t be both. . . can she? Anu Chouhan' s vibrant, energetic illustrations emphasize themes of creative flexibility and navigating the intersections of different cultural identities.

Anu Chouhan is a Punjabi-Canadian illustrator and former mobile game artist from Vancouver, BC.
