Shanna loves music. She loves to sing and play the keyboard during music therapy. But what she really wants to do is dance.
So she comes up with a big idea.
With the help of her music therapist and a Child Life Specialist, Shanna helps plan a very special event at the hospital: The Night of a Thousand Dances-a joyful celebration for kids and families who are facing tough times together.
Soon the hospital lobby fills with sparkling lights, colorful decorations, beautiful dresses, laughter, and music. Children arrive in wheelchairs and with IV stands decorated in bright colors, ready to dance, play games, and share a magical evening.
For one wonderful night, they aren't just kids in a hospital.
They are kids who can laugh, celebrate, and dance.
The Night of a Thousand Dances is a touching and uplifting picture book about:
courage during illness
the power of music and celebration
friendship and kindness
finding joy even in hard moments
Inspired by real hospital experiences, this heartfelt story reminds children everywhere that happiness can bloom even in unexpected places.
Perfect for ages 4-9, families, teachers, and hospital libraries.
