A joyful young Black girl dances confidently on the cover, captured mid–high kick like a Rockette, with a line of Rockettes dancing in the background. The bright, soft watercolor artwork celebrates her love of dance and achievement, using cheerful colors to show movement, energy, and happiness. The author’s name appears in green, the title On the Line is shown in red, and the subtitle reads, My Story of Becoming the First African American Rockette.
The scene shows a happy young Jennifer Jones dancing in fun, lively poses, with simple descriptions of her movements. On the next page, she is in a dance class wearing a bright pink tutu, a white leotard, and black ballet shoes. Two other dancers stand behind her in green tutus, holding classic ballet poses.

De la primera bailarina Rockette negra de Radio City, Jennifer Jones, llega una inspiradora autobiografía ilustrada perfecta para los fans de pioneras como Misty Copeland, Mae Jemison y muchas más.

Bailar siempre la ha hecho sentir libre, como si pudiera lograr cualquier cosa. Pero cuando Jennifer era niña, algunas personas no creían que tuviera futuro como bailarina debido al color de su piel.

Con el apoyo de su familia, especialmente de su madre, demostró que todo es posible cuando crees que perteneces.

Con hermosas ilustraciones en acuarela del artista Robert Paul Jr., On the Line es una cautivadora historia real sobre cómo hacer realidad tus sueños.
