Description
“Laney is a delight! This story of a child who dances to her own music—rain or shine—will resonate with anyone who’s ever had to find the courage to be themselves, whatever others might say or think. The accessible wordless picture book format invites children to use their empathy and imagination to tell the tale in their own words.”
