Doris has always reveled in the warmth of a spotlight.

Her whole life, she’s danced the nights away,

With friends from the only home she’s ever known.

But one day, Doris twirls…

Out

Of

Step

…Until she stumbles across a whole new kind of spotlight.

Doris, a gorgeous tale by award winning picture book creator Sarah Jacoby, is filled with breathtaking art and is a classic in the making, reminiscent of favorites such as Ferdinand and Peter Rabbit. It will surely melt your heart and might even make you want to dance in the moonlight!
