Preorder MARTEE DARES TO DANCE by Harry Shum Jr and Shelby Rabara, illustrated by Bianca Austria, out 9/21/24, and receive a signed print!
Martee Dares to Dance, a picture book by actors and dancers Harry Shum Jr (Grey’s Anatomy, Glee) and Shelby Rabara (Steven Universe), and illustrated by Bianca Austria will be published by Gloo Books this September 21st.
Martee loves dancing to his own beat. But after an embarrassing experience leaves him reluctant to show off his moves, Martee grapples with the decision to attend his school's upcoming Halloween dance. It isn't until he meets an unlikely friend—a martian—that he finds the courage to embrace his bold moves and discovers that creative expression knows no bounds.
"We wrote this book because it takes courage to dance in front of others,” say Shum and Rabara. “Dance opens up avenues of adventure, whether it be an impromptu dance party in the middle of the grocery store aisle or a way to express feelings of joy and sadness and all the in-betweens. It has been an amazing form of expression and a creative outlet for our family. We hope this book inspires kids and parents to embrace the way they move in this world. Dare to be bold! Dare to dance like Martee!”
