That's What Happens When You Dance with a Dragonfly

This book tells the story of Luna, who loved to dance but soon lost her sense of self because of the emotional abuse of her dance teacher and being bullied at school. Luna, during summer break, went to the field of flowers where she learned dance techniques from observing how birds, butterflies, and flowers moved in nature. She learned tempo by listening to the croaking frogs, grasshoppers, and crickets. The field of flowers took her to heights where she had to learn the lesson of believing and trusting the process of life that was given to her by her mentor, the dragonfly. After summer break, Luna continued to dance and auditioned for a dance and was awarded. The story continued with Grandma Trudy taking her to Chicago and again, the world of possibilities opened to her. Luna, with the use of cookies, brought vulnerable communities together, forgiveness to happen, opportunities to flourish, and relationship restored, and found herself.
