A lyrical picture book biography of Janet Collins, the first African American principal dancer at the Metropolitan Opera House.

Janet Collins wanted to be a ballerina in the 1930s and 40s, a time when racial segregation was widespread in the United States. Janet pursued dance with a passion, despite being rejected from discriminatory dance schools. When she was accepted into the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo as a teenager on the condition that she paint her skin white for performances, Janet refused. She continued to go after her dreams, never compromising her values along the way. From her early childhood lessons to the height of her success as the first African American prima ballerina in the Metropolitan Opera, Brave Ballerina is the story of a remarkable pioneer as told by Michelle Meadows, with fantastic illustrations from Ebony Glenn.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Young dancers will find inspiration in the first picture book biography written about groundbreaking dancer Janet Collins. In tidy four-line stanzas, Meadows tells Collins's life story, describing her path to stardom as the first black prima ballerina to perform at the Metropolitan Opera House. Each page begins in a similar fashion, setting the scene and continuing in rhyming verse. ("This is the audience, lined up in rows, cheering her on as she danced on her toes.") Though the format is constrictive, there is not an awkward word or rhythm to be found. Collins's story is told masterfully, with additional background information in an author's note. Glenn (Mommy's Khimar) fills each page with the strength and beauty of dance, focusing on the graceful movement of Collins and her emotive expressions. VERDICT This book radiates with the joy of dance. A first purchase for most collections.—Clara Hendricks, Cambridge Public Library, MA

• 是圣、是魔

  文字间无一多余的废话，跳跃性极强，却又连接得极好；文笔又诗意又诡秘，梦回当年读霸王别姬的感觉。穿越与转世之说放到现在自然不再稀奇，只是放在当时那可谓是鼻祖了。

  小时候看电视剧版就得知了蒙天放与韩冬儿跨越千年，轮回转世的爱情故事；如今再看一遍原著，确是有一些新的感触。那时偏爱第一世，蒙天放被活生生塑成泥俑为始皇陪葬，冬儿一身红衣飞扑入火窑殉情的场景一直记到现在。我为他们第一世的悲剧而唏嘘，觉得后面的情节毫无必要。现在读罢原著，却是觉得第二世万不可少。第二世里冬儿转世成的三线明星朱莉莉庸俗而虚荣，蒙天放却仍是蒙天放。只是两千年后，家国信仰化为乌有，当初致力的万世基业皆不再，深爱着的人也变了模样。冬儿固然是投身烈火焚身而亡，却也在抛下一切后死得其所。谁又能说永生和死去，哪个更令人羡艳。

  莉莉不是冬儿，蒙天放却依然对莉莉矢志不渝，就如同他对始皇帝自始至终的忠心不二，但他一直都是清醒的。“各奔前程吧。你不必跟随我。此去生死未卜，不想耽误你。” 他亲手放走他爱的人。“是圣、是魔，千秋功过，未可轻议。”他这么评价始皇帝。如此一个男性角色也许有些单薄而理想，但这份跨越千年的坚持却让一切变得厚重起来。

  最后想提一笔，莉莉在死前的最后一刻竟是在背诵剧本台词，而此刻我脑中挥之不去的却是那一句—— “我本是男儿郎，又不是女娇娥。”

• 《吴孟超传》：一部“攻克肝癌”的史书

  作者：九歌 发布时间：2012-07-07 15:08:24

      说起癌症，很多人都知道，现代医学目前还没有根治的办法，也就是通常说的“不治之症”。肝癌更是被称为“癌中之王”，很多患者被查出来三个月到半年，生命就结束了。中国人口约占世界人口的五分之一，全球的肝癌患者，却有一半以上是中国人，此外全国还有1.2亿乙肝病毒携带者是肝癌发病的易感人群，每年有近40万新发肝癌病例。肝癌主要侵犯有色人种，白人极少患肝癌。于是西方有人把肝癌称为中国的“国病”。

      肝癌是不治之症吗？

     《吴孟超传》里有明确的回答。

      在吴孟超的手术刀下，肝癌不但可治，经吴孟超手术后又生活了几十年的大有人在。上海长征医院院长赵志民已生存33年，仍健在；浙江工人蒋声和两次手术后已生存了45年，仍健在。吴孟超一生已做了14000多例肝脏手术，其中肝癌切除手术9300多例，成功率达98.5%，有近30%的患者已生存10年以上，这无疑可以给肝癌患者巨大信心。
