An inspiring and profoundly moving story about speaking up for yourself and creating healthy spaces from acclaimed CEO, author, and activist Bellen Woodard, creator of the More than Peach project.

Bellen Woodard adores ballet and always looks forward to reaching new heights. Though as she moves through dance, she begins to notice that pink leotards, pink shoes, and pink or white tightsโ€”often referred to as ballet pinkโ€”are synonymous with ballet. But what about brown tights and shoes?

When her dance studio doesnโ€™t act, Bellen takes matters into her own hands and creates a way for all of us to see the 'many beautiful colours of dance'โ€”and she names it ballet brown.

This second inspirational picture book from Bellen Woodard is all about standing up for what you know is right, even if the right decision is a difficult one.
