A picture book star is born! Diana is struggling in school. Sheâs bored. She canât concentrate. And she really doesnât like math. Diana visits the doctor after her mother receives a call from a concerned school teacher, but the family doctor finds nothing amiss. Itâs only when Diana hears the soft musical notes filling the psychologistâs office that her body begins swaying rhythmically and the correct diagnosis can be made: Diana is a dancer! This wonderfully illustrated picture book debut showcases Luciano Lozanoâs modern yet timeless style, making for a story that readers will want to return to again and again. Elements of diversity woven throughout the story send subtle yet powerful messages of inclusivity and body positivity to young readers. While Diana Dances is sure to resonate with budding dancers, its wonderful tribute to the need for self-expression, the power of movement, and the importance of self-esteem is universal. Dianaâs joy at finding her creative outlet is infectious, making Lozanoâs fearless heroine a sure-to-be favorite with children. The verdict is in: Diana is delightful!
