Ballet for Martha: Making Appalachian Spring by Jan Greenberg, Sandra Jordan, and Brian Floca

This is a great story of how collaboration, persistence and dedication to art, along with strong work ethics, accomplish great feats of grace and beauty.  This picture book contains dramatic artwork and diction that captures the ballet's powerful emotion, as well as the communion between music, dance, and sculpture.  The choreographer, composer, and set designer are all featured with brief biographies on the last two pages, showing that real people made this ballet happen.
