Freeze Dance: A Story of the Dancing Cactus - Paperback

by Dawn L. Martin (Author)

When the sun goes down, the Saguaro cacti secretly begin to dance. Hip-Hop Harry, Boppin' Betty, and Tappin' Tooty come to life as they dance in the middle of the night. When the sun comes up, they have to freeze so people won't see them. And sometimes, when they stop dancing, their arms end up in the wrong place. Written and illustrated by Dawn Martin using watercolor, the characters were derived from real people close to the family. The song in the book was derived from her grandmother's cheerleading song (1906 Lone Star School, Kansas). Stay tuned for The Policeman and The Pie, which combines true stories from the author's father and father-in-law.
