Description
A playful picture book that urges readers to bop, bounce, and shake from the author of 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
you're happy or even because you're sad.
But, what's the best way to dance?
Exactly how you want to!
In How Do You Dance?,
author-illustrator Thyra Heder explores dance in all of its creativity,
humor, and-most of all-joy, in a picture-book celebration of personal
expression that will inspire young and old readers alike to get up and
get moving.

Reviews / Votes
**STARRED REVIEW**"A gleeful, tender celebration of self-expression through movement, destined to become a favorite read-aloud." * Kirkus Reviews * **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." * Publishers Weekly * Children and adults of many skin tones, body types, and dance styles boogie through this book. . . Warm and funny, this lively picture book would work equally well as a raucous readaloud and a companion to creative movement activities. * Horn Book Magazine * This bopping, grooving picture book will inspire readers to get up and dance themselves. * School Library Journal *
