review:
'Rudolf Nureyeve' by Ma Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Eleanora Arosio is part of the Little People, Big Dreams series of picture books for young readers.

Rudolf fell in love with dance as a young child. While other kids were playing hockey, he wanted to dance, but he couldn't enter ballet school until he was 17. He also wanted to change other things about dance, like the clothes he was supposed to wear. In his later life, he defected and brought his style of dance to the rest of the world.

Along with the text, there is a timeline and photos at the back of the book. The illustrations are nice and the figures are rounded, which complements the idea of dance and movement really well.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Frances Lincoln Childrens, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
