Valerie Bolling – Let’s Dance!
Leave a reviewValerie Bolling (@valerie_bolling) shares LET’S DANCE! with a team of 5th grade student co-hosts. Valerie’s debut picture book is called LET’S DANCE and it’s illustrated by Maine Diaz. All told, there are less than 75 words in the main text, but with those selectively chosen verbs and adjectives Valerie leave a lot of space for the illustrator to bring the movement of dance to the page, and that’s exactly what happens. Valerie talks with us about growing up the only child in a house of seven adults. She shares her favorite dance, which is kuku in case you’re curious. And she shares how she’s only responsible for a third of the book (and talks lovingly on the other two thirds that helped to make this book what it is). You can access even more information about this book and its author by visiting www.matthewcwinner.com/blog.
