The Little Dancin’ Boy: El Pequeño Bailarín

Antón is a little boy who loves to dance. His parents and grandparents came from many places—England, Scotland, Spain, Mexico, and Vietnam—and the music and dance of those cultures flow through him. What’s more, when he dances, he brings joy to everyone around him, because people who see him realize they are happiest when they dance. Throughout the world, Antón’s reputation grows, and the leaders of many nations invite him to come dance for them to end conflict and bring about peace. And so he travels around the world, dancing and spreading hope to people everywhere. But one day, Antón finds himself in pain and unable to dance. None of his doctors can figure out what is wrong, and so he goes home, sad and weary. Will Antón’s family be able to help him become the Little Dancin’ Boy once more? In this bilingual children’s story, one little boy, with the help of his family, shows the world that dance is the international language of peace and harmony.
