Frances Dean Who Loved to Dance and Dance
Age 4+
Picture Storybooks
From the award-winning author of Oliver comes a book that glows from the inside out, a book that will move you to be yourself — and get dancing.
Frances Dean loves to dance. She feels the wind and she dances. She hears singing birds and she dances. In her every waking moment, she is inspired to move. But as soon as anyone is around, Frances Dean’s knees begin to tremble, butterflies start to flutter in her tummy, and she forgets how to dance. Will she ever find the courage to share her talent with others and feel free?
