A playful picture book that urges readers to bop, bounce, and shake, from the award-winning author of Alfie and Fraidyzoo.
There are so many ways to dance! You can jiggle or wiggle or stomp. You can bop or bounce or go completely nuts. You can dance at the market or the bus stop, with your fingers or your face. You can dance because youâre happy or even because youâre sad.
But, whatâs the best way to dance? Exactly how you want to!
In How Do You Dance?, award-wining author/illustrator Thyra Heder explores dance in all of its creativity, humor, andâmost of allâjoy, in a picture book celebration of personal expression that will inspire young and old readers alike to get up and get moving.
âHeder explores dance with pages of graceful, rhythmic watercolors that show people of myriad ages, ethnicities, shapes, and abilities stretching, bopping, spinning, and swaying. Moves executed in exuberance, impulsiveness, and self-care climax in a gigantic, inclusive dance party complete with glittery disco ball. Hederâs stream of dancers encourages everyone to find a way to danceâeven, perhaps, the most stubborn nondancers.â âPublishers Weekly (Starred Review)
