<b>A beautiful picture book biography about the first professional wheelchair dancer, Mary Verdi-Fletcher, who changed the rules of dance and helped make it accessible to all.</b> <p><i>Born to Dance</i> tells the true story of Mary Verdi-Fletcher, who was born with spina bifida and dreamed of being a dancer from a very young age. When Mary's parents introduced her to music, her unsinkable love of dance flourished--and she vowed she would not be limited by her disability. </p><p>But the world needed to catch up. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was unheard of to see a wheelchair user on stage with a dance company. But Mary persevered, and she ultimately redefined what it means to be a dancer--founding the groundbreaking Dancing Wheels Company, where people of all abilities perform together. </p><p>This beautifully written and empowering biography of Mary's life celebrates determination, creativity and the power of believing in yourself.</p>
