The illustrated and poetic writings of Stéphanie Boyer reveal the heroine's inner thoughts, allowing the reader to experience the emotions of the young dancer. Elisa Gonzalez's illustrations put the lively scene where restlessness and the magic of a show are palpable. Vas-y! is a bright book that shows that courage sleeps in all of us.
