A 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 ofFirebirdandCrown!
Langston likes basketball okay, but what helovesis to dance–ever since he saw the Alvin Ailey Dance Company perform. He longs to twirl into a pirouette, whirl into a piqu. He wants to arabesque and attitude, grand battement and grand jet. When he walks, the whole street is his stage.
With his neighborhood cheering him on, will Langston achieve his dream?
Born and raised in East Orange, New Jersey, Kaija Langley has been writing since she fell in love with words at age seven. She knew she was onto something when she wrote her first poem and her grade school classmates thought she’d copied it from a book! A proud alumna of Morgan State University, a historically black college and university in Baltimore, Maryland, she received her MFA in fiction from St. Mary’s College of California in 2005. She’s called many places home over the years–New Jersey, Maryland, DC, California, Louisiana–and currently lives, writes, and plays in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with her two bonsai and her beloved.
Keith Mallett has been drawing and painting for as long as he can remember. The NAACP Image Award-nominated artist and designer has created posters and fine art prints for more than forty years. As guest artist, he crafted the 2017 Google Doodle commemorating Martin Luther King Day. Keith Lives in San Diego with his wife and German Shepherd.
