Book SynopsisA young Black boy dreams of dancing in this exuberant, buoyant picture book celebrating the beauty of dance, and the wonder of Black Boy Joy—perfect for fans of Firebird and Crown!Langston likes basketball okay, but what he loves is to dance—ever since he saw the Alvin Ailey Dance Company perform. He longs to twirl into a pirouette, whirl into a piqué. He wants to arabesque and attitude, grand battement and grand jeté. When he walks, the whole street is his stage. With his neighborhood cheering him on, will Langston achieve his dream?Trade Review"A tenderly told story about self-acceptance. The love and support that Langston receives from his mother serve to buoy his confidence, but it is his awareness of his passion that sustains him and pushes him to do what makes him happy: a lesson for every child. The illustrations are warm and dreamy...the absolute embodiment of Black boy joy, this is a beautiful and important book." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review"Mallett’s lively, realistic illustrations, characterized by airbrushed strokes and dynamic dancers of varying skin tones, help further bring the story to life. Notable is Langston’s unwavering passion for ballet—and his mother’s just as steadfast support—in this richly affirmative picture book." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

Her Barnyard Dance! is a true romp of a board book, with cartoon farm animals that are wacky enough to make you laugh out loud, and rhymes clever enough to sustain those nearly infinite re-readings…” * Parents *This review is for the original, board book edition: “The popular illustrator and greeting-card artist brings oddball humor and plenty of sassy energy to Boynton on Board… In Barnyard (Dance), farm animals dance a boisterous, breathless, knee-slapping reel called, with great panache, by a fiddle-playing cow: ‘Bow to the horse. / Bow to the cow. / Twirl with the pig if you know how.’…Fresh and buoyant, these books are good, clean fun.” * Publishers Weekly *
