Misty Copeland made history in 2015 when she was the first black woman to be promoted to Principal Dancer at American Ballet Theatre, one of the most prominent classical ballet companies in the world. She is the author of several NYT bestselling books, including the picture books Bunheads and Firebird. Setor Fiadzigbey was born and raised in Accra, Ghana. As a child, he had an active imagination- often playing out stories visually in his mind. He is blessed to do this even more as an adult, helping to craft memorable stories as an artist and illustrator. Apart from picture books, he has also worked in visual development for animation, graphic novels, and other visual storytelling forms. He lives in Ghana with his family.
Praise for Bunheads, Act 2: “It’s time for Misty’s class to learn a new ballet, and her friend Cat has her heart set on Don Quixote…Tragedy strikes when Cat and another dancer collide, resulting in a sprained ankle for Cat, their Dulcinea. Copeland shows a less-glamorous reality of dance training in her sequel to Bunheads (2020)…A supportive atmosphere permeates the proceedings, during which the dancers and their teacher lift one another up and offer help whenever needed. The illustrations, once again, are full of rich colors and movement, not to mention interesting uses of light and perspective. Another lovely portrait of life in the ballet studio and on stage.”—Booklist
