Illustrated by Vanessa Brantley-Newton A spunky African American girl has a hula-hooping competition with her friends in Harlem, and soon everyone in the neighborhood--young and old alike--joins in on the fun. A charming celebration of family and community ties, this intergenerational story shows the importance of staying young at heart. ★ "A lively intergenerational picture book that will send readers out to the sidewalk for a hoopin' good time... A fine incentive to motivate couch potatoes young and old to move." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review ★ "This story of a tightly knit community attests to the power of tradition and the treasures to be discovered among the generations that came before." -- Shelf Awareness, starred review Watch Oprah Winfrey read THE HULA-HOOPIN' QUEEN on Storyline Online®!
