"Lively, lyrical prose is well-matched by the vibrant, animated illustrations, expressively depicting cute Luna (who is biracial), her supportive family, and the inclusive array of other kids and adults. While dance-themed, this charming title provides an encouraging, uplifting message, primarily about surmounting self-doubt and finding delight in creative self-expression."
-- Booklist
"This sweet story and its uplifting messages is an easy purchase to recommend."
-- School Library Journal
"The 'real dancer' language fades away as Luna leaps 'over hard times, with joy,' on a spread full of color and laughter. This story taps into fears about being good enough and delivers a lovely message about doing what brings joy. … Just might have readers getting up to dance."
