Doris

Doris dances to her own tune in this whimsical and emotionally resonant tale about finding the courage to be yourself.

Doris has always reveled in the warmth of a spotlight.

Her whole life, she's danced the nights away,

With friends from the only home she's ever known.

But one day, Doris twirls...

Out

Of

Step

...Until she stumbles across a whole new kind of spotlight.

This gorgeous tale by award winning picture book creator Sarah Jacoby, filled with breathtaking art, is a classic in the making, reminiscent of favorites such as Ferdinand and Peter Rabbit. It will surely melt your heart and might even make you want to dance in the moonlight!
