**STARRED REVIEW**
"A gleeful, tender celebration of self-expression through movement, destined to become a favorite read-aloud."
**STARRED REVIEW**
"Heder 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. Heder's stream of dancers encourages everyone to find a way to dance-even, perhaps, the most stubborn nondancers."
