Cesaria Feels the Beat - 40 pages
Denise Rosario Adusei, Priscila Soares (Illustrator)
Summary (From Goodreads)
Cesaria is going to perform for the seaside Carnival. She skips past the beach barefoot, dressed in her favorite peacock leotard.
But when her dance director tells her she must put on her shoes to go on stage, Cesaria signs, “Peacocks don’t wear shoes!”
You see, Cesaria hears the music through the soles of her feet, but no one seems to understand…
…That is, until all the dancers take off their shoes, and learn to feel the music, just like Cesaria.
Review
A nice story about experiencing the world through another point of view. The author includes a story in the back about her deaf cousin that inspired her to write this book.
