Praise
“This kinetic and exciting. . . . Written in simple, flowing verse that “hits” just like a tap shoe, the smooth text is lively, punctuated by beats, and begs to be read out loud. . . . Freeman’s dynamic illustrations pulse with vitality. . . .”—School Library Journal
“Dance-like energy pervades. . . . Castrovilla’s prominently onomatopoeic verse dances through rhythmic variations, while Freemanfs kinetic, saturated illustrations use pale emanata to echo movement across the protagonist and diverse secondary cast.”—Publishers Weekly
“A soaring tribute to a legendary dancer and choreographer.”—Kirkus Reviews
“[An] energetic biography. . . .Percussive verses lay out his journey and triumphs, while a joyful cacophony surrounds Glover’s movements. . . . The kinetic quality of the book’s subject is just as present in Coretta Scott King Honor Book illustrator Freeman’s vibrant digital illustrations, which use swooshes, starbursts, and flurries of feet to show Glover in constant motion. . . . There’s always a need for more books on male dancers, and this one—especially when read aloud—will get kids grooving to their own beats.”—Booklist
