- W4247753392 abstract "Reviewed by: Ready for the Spotlight by Jaime Kim Kate Quealy-Gainer, Editor Kim, Jaime Ready for the Spotlight!; written and illus. by Jamie Kim. Candlewick, 2021 [40p] Trade ed. ISBN 9781536205183 $17.99 E-book ed. ISBN 9781536225716 $17.99 Reviewed from digital galleys R 4-7 yrs Young Tessie is frustrated that her sister Maya always gets the attention and accolades in their ballet class, so she’s willing to put the hard work in to grab the coveted princess role in the fall recital. Alas, her jetés aren’t quite on point and her freestyle moves are more chaos than grace, and she finds herself relegated to the role of a bumblebee. Discouraged and disheartened, Tessie mopes in her room, but big sis Maya shows up with some encouraging words, a revelation that she too was once a bumblebee, and a request for Tessie to show her how to lose herself to the music with freestyle dance. The ending tips toward saccharine, but there’s plenty of humorous snark in Tessie’s grumpy narration, and her jealousy of and annoyance with Maya ring with authenticity. Squat, squarish, and with an unfortunate bowl cut, our young protagonist is the picture of recalcitrance, cutting quite the contrast to her elegant older sister. Tessie’s ballet poses are all awkward angles and flailing limbs, but once she gets into her own groove, the illustrations gain a fluidity with motion lines and dynamic compositions. Readers struggling with sibling rivalry or just the weight of their own expectations will appreciate Tessie’s ability to let loose and have fun.
