Take a bow, Mimi! More than anything in the world, Mimi wanted to be on stage—to sing, to dance, to act! But to sing, dance, and act, you had to be talented and beautiful. “And I’m not,” Mimi thought sadly. But Mimi has determination and spunk and perseverance. Will that be enough? Can she do it? Can Mimi become a star?
Review
"The illustrations have a surrealistic, dreamy quality with distorted proportions and muted
tones, but Lisa has her own quirky appeal with her flaming carrot-orange
hair topped by a newspaper-print bow. "--Kirkus Reviews
