But the first African American prima ballerina, Janet Collins, did make her dreams come true. And those dreams
A story of little ballerinas with big dreams. Little ballerinas have big dreams. Dreams of pirouettes and grande jetes, dreams of attending the best ballet schools and of dancing starring roles on stage. But in Harlem in the 1950s, dreams don't always come true--they take a lot of work and a lot of hope. And sometimes hope is hard to come by. But the first African-American prima ballerina, Janet Collins, did make her dreams come true. And those dreams inspired ballerinas everywhere, showing them that the color of their skin couldn't stop them from becoming a star. In a lyrical tale as beautiful as a dance en pointe, Kristy Dempsey and Floyd Cooper tell the story of one little ballerina who was inspired by Janet Collins to make her own dreams come true.Binding Type: Hardcover

Great set of sheets
Color: Blue Pinstripe, Size: Twin
These microfiber sheets are incredibly soft and comfortable, especially for the price. I purchased the blue and white set for my daughter’s bed, and she loves them. The colors are bright and exactly as pictured. They fit the mattress well, don’t slip off the corners, and wash up nicely without pilling or fading. The brushed microfiber feels cozy and lightweight, making them great for year-round use. Overall, a great value and I would definitely buy another set.

Bold Colors, Great Quality, and an Amazing Price - Perfect Everyday Sheets
Color: Black, Size: Full
The Amazon Basics lightweight bed sheets have been such a great buy for my boys’ bedrooms. They come in a wide variety of colors, which made it easy to match each room’s style — and the colors stay bold and vibrant even after multiple washes, which honestly surprised me.
The quality is excellent for the price. The fabric stays soft, doesn’t pill, and holds up well to frequent washing (a must in kids’ rooms!). Each set includes a fitted sheet, flat sheet, and two pillow shams, which makes the value even better — most sets at this price point don’t include that many pieces.
Overall, these sheets are affordable, durable, colorful, and comfortable. I loved them enough to buy them in multiple colors, and they’ve held up beautifully. A fantastic budget-friendly choice for any household.

Incredible Value – Super Soft and Budget-Friendly!
Color: Emerald Green, Size: Full
Exceeded My Expectations
I’ll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect from the "Basics" line, but I am so glad I bought these. If you are looking for comfortable sheets without spending a fortune, these are a perfect choice.
Why I Loved Them:
• The Price: You really can't beat the price for what you get. It feels like a much more expensive set of sheets.
• Quality & Feel: They are exactly as described—super soft and lightweight. They have a smooth, almost silky feel that makes them very comfortable to sleep in, especially if you tend to get warm at night.
• Wrinkle-Free: I’ve washed them a few times now, and they come out of the dryer looking great. No aggressive wrinkling, which is a huge plus for me.
• Great Fit: The pockets are deep enough that they don't pop off the corners of the mattress in the middle of the night.
Final Verdict: The quality is great and the price is even better. I loved these so much I’m planning on getting another set for the guest room. Highly recommend!

Good for the price
Color: Emerald Green, Size: Twin
Good sheets for the price. They are a silky soft and not itchy. They fit slightly loose on a 5 inch mattress but still stay secure. They do not wrinkle and have not faded with washing.

Soft and Comfortable Sheets for Everyday Use
Color: Frosted Lavender, Size: Twin, Color: Frosted Lavender, Size: Twin
I really like these sheets. They are soft, lightweight, and fit my twin mattress perfectly. The lavender color looks beautiful in person and they feel comfortable to sleep on. After washing, they still looked nice and didn’t wrinkle much. Great quality for the price!
