Amy Wu and the Ribbon Dance
Written by Kat Zhang
Illustrated by Charlene Chua
Published by Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers
Amy Wu loves to move. From wriggling to shimmying to toe-tapping, she just can’t keep still, not when there’s music all around her! So when Amy sees Chinese ribbon dancing for the first time, she has to try it out. Only, how can she throw the perfect dance party when she doesn’t have the perfect ribbon for her dance?
A special story from Mom may be just the thing to get Amy moving to the music again.
