School Library Journal It's John's big day at school today - a performance for Sharing Gifts time. His bag is carefully packed and prepared, his classmates are ready, and the curtain is waiting to open. John is nervous, looking out at all the other children staring back at him. But he takes a big breath and begins. Mac Barnett's compassionate text and Kate Berube's expressive art tell the story of a child who finds the courage to show others his talent for dancing.
