Jose! Born to Dance: The Story of Jose Limon
- Used Book in Good Condition
JosÃ© was a boy with a song in his heart and a dance in his step. Born in Mexico in 1908, he came into the world kicking like a steer, and grew up to love to draw, play the piano, and dream. JosÃ©'s dreaming took him to faraway places. He dreamed of bullfighters and the sounds of the cancan dancers that he saw with his father. Dance lit a fire in JosÃ©'s soul.
With his heart to guide him, JosÃ© left his family and went to New York to dance. He learned to flow and float and fly through space with steps like a Mexican breeze. When JosÃ© danced, his spirit soared. From New York to lands afar, JosÃ© LimÃ³n became known as the man who gave the world his own kind of dance.
Â¡OLÃ‰! Â¡OLÃ‰! Â¡OLÃ‰!
Susanna Reich's lyrical text and RaÃºl ColÃ³n's shimmering artwork tell the story of a boy who was determined to make a difference in the world, and did. JosÃ©! Born to Dance will inspire picture book readers to follow their hearts and live their dreams.
