As part of Summer for the City’s Brazil Week, the Library for the Performing Arts presents Brazilian dancer Ingrid Silva, reading her children’s book, A bailarina que pintava suas sapatilhas, or The Ballerina Who Painted Her Ballet Shoes.

The book tells the story of Silva’s journey in ballet, from her childhood in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro to her experience at the Dance Theatre of Harlem in New York, when she became a leading dancer and known worldwide.

Curated by The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts—which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year—Storytime events feature a children's book reading accompanied by live music, dance, or theater, engaging kids of all ages.

Performances are at 11am and 1pm.
