The award-winning author of Kitten and the Night Watchman is back
with an inspiring and poignant picture book about a boy learning the
self-confidence to fulfill his dream of dancing in front of his peers.
The only audience shy, quiet Stanley dances in front of is his pet mice,
Squeaker and Nibbles. He also practices when he's alone in empty
classrooms or the gym when he helps the janitor after school, tap
dancing shuffle, tippy-tap, tippy-tap. "Talent should be shared,"
encourages Principal Reynolds. Can Stanley find the courage to perform
in the school talent show?
