My Friend Maya Loves to Dance

32 pp. | Abrams | April, 2010 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-8328-1 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eric Velasquez. An offstage (until the last page) narrator tells readers about her friend Maya, a young ballet dancer. The text in rhyme describes how "music moves Maya," whether it's classical, jazz, gospel, or reggae. Soft illustrations capture the joy of dance and finally display our narrator, who is in a wheelchair but experiences her own satisfaction--through her drawing.
