"Jojo, come dance!" Lola calls, inviting him to leap between the
clapping and slapping bamboo poles and dance the tinikling with her.
Whirling, twirling, and singing in Tagalog, Jojo tries but trips. Lola
dances between the two poles easily, the same way she dances between
their American and Filipino cultures--Jojo knows that dance! And
finally, spinning and hopping to the rhythm of his life, he's dancing
the tinikling! Part of the Own Voices, Own Stories Collection.
