There are a number of real life dancers who’s stories were utilized to write “Pointe Shoes and Sugar Plums.” For this project, however, Kathryn Morgan instantly came to mind. She is a former soloist with the New York City Ballet and shares many wonderful stories in the Once Upon a Pointe series on Youtube. She’s gone through many ups and downs in her life and is a shining example of how one should never give up and should always dare to dream. This book is dedicated to her.
