MY REVIEW
Sam is a nine year old girl just starting at a new school. Most kids would be nervous, but with her Mom’s encouraging words, she not only isn’t scared, she shines.
I loved how in the beginning, when Sam first meets her classmates, she’s the only one illustrated in color. As the kids become curious about Sam and her obvious excitement to dance, they start joining in and they too are then illustrated in color. And such fun, bold outfits they donned.
A girl after my own heart, I wish I’d known someone like Sam when I was in school. I was insecure and worried what others thought of me and my school years were miserable. It wasn’t until high school that I found my own self and began to shine. Bravo to the author for ‘painting’ her character in courage and passion. I could almost hear the music and the kid’s laughter. I’m sure I’d have been tapping my feet and joining in if I’d been there.
This was a delightful story with an important lesson and I wish every child had their own copy so they could also shine.
