Beskrivning
A spirited picture book about the epic struggle and dramatic breakthrough of Agnes de Mille, the legendary choreographer of Oklahoma! and Carousel whose work changed the course of Broadway history.Something new is about to happen,something extraordinary. In a dusty California town, Agnes de Mille dreams of becoming a dancer. She gallops to New York, then London, performing a show here, a dance there, combining old steps with new. But no one knows what to make of Agnes. She’s not a ballet dancer or a modern dancer or a folk dancer. So what is she? Then one summer she attends a rodeo, where the cowboys’ powerful and unbridled movements transform her life—and the history of dance—forever.

Recensioner i media

* “[A] dynamic biographical story that’s rendered with verve . . . Infused with rose- and poppy-hued coloring, Urbinati’s lightly sketched digital artwork effectively captures the energy of de Mille and her work, frequently depicting the subject and dancers mid-leap. Combined with Wrenn Bobrow’s vivacious narration, the result is a spirited appreciation.”
