Amy Wu twirls, taps, and troubleshoots in this latest story.Whether it's wriggling on the carpet during story time or hopping on her bed at night, Amy, a young Chinese girl, is always on the go. When she sees Chinese ribbon dancing on TV, she is instantly drawn to the fluttering and twisting swaths. She must have a ribbon dance party with her friends. They'll each bring an instrument, and Amy will supply "the most important thing-dancing ribbons." Looking around the house, Amy thinks outside the box to find a suitable ribbon replacement. Will a hair ribbon be close enough? Maybe a scarf or a tablecloth? Nothing seems quite right, and Amy's bouncy feet are at a glum standstill-until her family and diverse friends encourage Amy to see past these details and have fun with her makeshift ribbons. Ultimately, she adjusts her expectations and learns to appreciate what's most important-dancing and enjoying a magic moment with friends and family. This fourth entry is just as bouncy and buoyant as previous series installments. Illustrations expressively capture Amy's enthusiasm and joy as well as her frustration and disappointment. Full of movement, Chua's vignettes evoke the energy and celebration of dance and music in Zhang's rhythmic prose. (This book was reviewed digitally.)A heartwarming whirl. (instructions for making dance ribbons) (Picture book. 4-8)
