Follow one girl's journey to discover the joy and history of step dancing– an ode to sisterhood and a strong mother-daughter bond, perfect for fans of Bunheads.

What does sisterhood sound like? STOMP, CLAP! How does pride move? FLIP, FLAP! How do we uphold tradition? GO HARD, SNAP BACK! SOUL STEP!

Written by the mother-daughter duo Jewell Parker Rhodes and Kelly McWilliams, and gorgeously illustrated by Briana Mukodiri Uchendu, Soul Step is a loving ode to sisterhood and the tradition of stepping that lets women and girls, and people of all backgrounds, step loud and be proud.

Genre:

  • "A joyful tribute to the ways in which Black women use culture and connection to both survive and thrive."
    Kirkus
  • "Colorful illustrations literally show the soul and energy that each of these women and girls put into their steps. It radiates off them like bright sunlight, jumping off the page... A wonderfully rhythmic picture book on an aspect of Black culture that is not often highlighted in the picture book format."
    School Library Journal
