Why we dance : a story of hope and healing

Summary/Review: "It's a special day-the day of the Jingle Dress Dance! Before the big powwow, there's a lot to do: getting dressed, braiding hair, packing lunches, and practicing bounce-steps. But one young girl gets butterflies in her stomach thinking about performing in front of her whole community. When the drumbeats begin, though, her family soothes her nerves and reminds her why she dances. A powerful and exuberant story about the heritage, joy, and healing power of the Jingle Dress Dance."--
