Illustrated by
Valeria Docampo.
Emma's grandfather taught her how to tap dance before she knew how to talk. Through the years tapping was a way they could communicate. When Pop begins to lose his memory, Emma tries to find a way to remind him of their bond. Exaggerated gouache and pencil illustrations downplay the sentimentality of this story about family, love, and dance.
