Savion Glover was born
with a beat.
A rhythm in his head.
A sound
in his soul.

This kinetic, lyrical biography, about a boy who loved to move his body and make music with his feet, begs to be read aloud. Savion studied drums at four and tap at seven, and by the time he was ten, he was dancing on Broadway. Savion Glover grew up to an exciting and innovative tap dancer and a Tony-award winning choreographer. A great book for kids who love to dance!
