Dance yourself happy with the second, samba spectacular picture
book by dancing superstar, Oti Mabuse. It's time for Oti's dance
class! Join Oti and her class for their first dance show, and learn
"The Lion Samba" in ten easy steps. The children are excited to
return to dance class with Mrs Oti and waste no time preparing for
their animal-themed dance show. Mrs Oti teaches them all about
animal movements and how they can be used in their dance. From
stomping like an elephant, stretching up high like a giraffe or
even shaking your mane like a lion, there's so much fun to be had.
But when disaster strikes on the day of the show, it seems like all
of their hard work has been for nothing. Luckily for the children,
Mrs Oti is on hand, and soon they realize that a little bit of
courage can go a long way. Written by Strictly Come Dancing
superstar, Oti Mabuse, this heartwarming picture book will dance
into the hands of families who have loved watching Oti on-screen.
Inspired by the much-loved classic Ballet Shoes by Noel
Streatfeild, Into the Spotlight is a magical new story from
bestselling author and acclaimed performer Carrie Hope Fletcher.
Brilliant Aunt Maude visits seasides the world over and has become
quite the pebble collector. Pebbles of all shapes, sizes and
colours and even one that looked a bit like Elvis Presley if you
squinted a bit. Her favourite pebbles, however, are Marigold, Mabel
and Morris. One by one, and by strange and unusual ways, each child
arrives at the stage door of Brilliant Aunt Maude's theatre in the
heart of London, home to an extraordinary cast of performers.
There's Dante the miraculous magician, Petunia the storyteller and
seventy-year-old contortionists - the Fortune Sisters! But ticket
sales are dwindling and the curtains might have to close - for the
final time. Until one day, as the Pebbles are exploring the many
nooks and crannies of the theatre, they stumble upon something they
were never meant to find . . . something that just might save the
theatre after all . . .
This title invites readers to discover what is fun about dancing.
Simple text, straightforward photos, and a photo glossary make this
title the perfect primer on dancing.

but still loved the expressiveness of Indigenous dance. And despite
feeling different as one of the only Native American kids in her
school, she always knew she could turn to dance to cheer herself
up.
