Padlock Publishing, May 22, 2020

The day has finally come, the first day of dance class. With shoes packed snug in her bag, we watch as mom and daughter head to the studio for an afternoon filled with ballet, tap, and jazz. A classroom of new friends awaits as we watch our little girl's feet take center stage, moving to the rhythm of the music. Boasting with self-confidence and pride, a new star is beginning to discover her shine as she falls in love with the way her body seamlessly moves to the sound of the beat. Inspired by author Nia Sioux's own love for the dance floor, this beautifully enriched story is all about dance and discovery. Highlighting the diverse and accepting culture within the world of the arts, this book is a simple story centered around the all-important message of inclusion.
