This story of a boy's first ballet recital celebrates gender-creativity, the joy of dance, and being yourself

This story of a boy's first ballet recital celebrates gender-creativity, the joy of dance, and being yourself

Téo loves to dance, whether it's the cumbia with Papí, the bhangra with Amma, or ballet class with Miss Lila. He also loves the way his tutu makes him feel, inside and out. But when it comes time to decide which outfit to wear in the big dance recital--a sparkly tutu or shimmering silver pants--Téo wonders if being his most authentic self on stage will put him too much in the spotlight.

Praise for Téo's Tutu

"What an exciting and thoughtful new voice to welcome into the world of young people's literature. Maryann's stories bring a clear-eyed freshness to the often under-represented narratives concerning what it means to grow up in mixed-cultures, non-conforming gender norms, and the beauty of childhood in general. As her former teacher and present friend, I am thrilled to support all that she creates."
--Jacqueline Woodson
