The prolific Jane Yolen has
teamed up with Maddison Stemple-Piatt (Jane’s first grandchild, now a
successful adult) to create this delightful story illustrated by Priscilla
Burris.
Inspired perhaps by Yolen’s and Stemple-Piatt’s background in dance, the Nana in this story has a wide experience in moving to music from ballet and tap to salsa and swing. She can dance to any music and with most anything. But her best dancing happens when she shares the fun with her grandchildren.
The
lively rhyming text engages readers as it celebrates the joy of dance in its
many forms embodied in a diverse community of Nanas and their grandchildren.
Burris’ vivid colors and bold images fill the pages with movement to mirror
the buoyant language.
Ages
4-8 Recommended for home and school libraries.
