The first African American Rockette charts her journey to one of the world's most celebrated dance troupes in this gripping memoir that, for the first time, goes behind the velvet curtains at Radio City's legendary holiday show.

Smashing through glass windows and paving the way for others requires a special blend of bravery and perseverance. Being a pioneer involves breaking down stubborn barriers, challenging closed-minded people and navigating through instances of racism and prejudice. This journey often included facing ongoing resistance from individuals who were unwilling to embrace change. It's believing in your dream--that you can be and do whatever it is that you love.--Jennifer Jones

The Radio City Rockettes are as American as baseball, hot dogs, and the Fourth of July. Their legendary synchronized leg kicks, precise lines, and megawatt smiles have charmed audiences for a century. But there is a hidden side to this illustrious national institution. When the Rockettes began in 1925, Black people were not allowed to dance on stage with white people. However, during the Civil Rights Movement, dance history changed significantly when Black and white dancers were permitted to perform together, marking a moment of progress and inclusivity in the world of dance and entertainment. Even so, as late as the early 1980s, Rockette director Violet Holmes said having one or two Black girls in the line would definitely distract.

In 1987 the 63-year color barrier at Radio City was finally broken by one brave and tenacious woman. When she arrived, Jennifer Jones was met with pushback--a fierce resistance she details in this intimate and inspiring memoir. After overcoming seemingly impossible odds to join the line of The Rockettes, a PR director summoned the Black dancer to her hotel room and announced, You're old news, nobody cares about you, your story or anything about you. You're just lucky to be here.

Those words would haunt this shy, insecure biracial woman, who had always felt like an outsider.

Like Gelsey Kirkland's iconic Dancing on My Grave, Becoming Spectacular allows us to walk in Jones' tap shoes--beautiful and glittering, yet painful and binding. Bringing into focus the wounded life of a trailblazer, this searing memoir is also a triumphant celebration of a spirit who refused to be counted out.

Though this tale explores painful emotions, its focus on Jennifer's personal experience and the pleasure she found in dance make it an absolute delight.--Kirkus Reviews

From the first Black Radio City Rockette dancer, Jennifer Jones, comes an inspiring picture book autobiography perfect for fans of trailblazers like Misty Copeland, Mae Jemison, and more.

Dancing has always made her feel free, like she can do anything. But when Jennifer was a child, some people didn't think that she had a future as a dancer because of the color of her skin.

With the support of her family, especially her mother, she proved that anything is possible when you believe you belong.

With beautiful watercolor illustrations by artist Robert Paul Jr., On the Line is a captivating true story about manifesting your dreams..

The classroom pencils have had enough!

We're more reliable than the pen, because with us you can correct,

But has that earned us more respect? Of course not! Hasn't happened yet!

We also write on different surfaces without making such a mark,

But has that brought us glamour and attention? No! We're always in the dark.

And you want to have us as supper.

That our metal parts could rust.

An essential social emotional learning resource for home and school, The Calm Down Jar, helps children and adults learn how to handle the stress of every day life

In the world of sensory processing issues, tools like the Calm Down Jar help people of all ages and backgrounds. Each individual, whether or not they have a sensory processing disorder, has different coping mechanisms and strategies that work for them to calm down when they are overwhelmed and stressed. Overwhelmed children can shake, squeeze, see, and touch the Calm Down Jar, letting the sight of floating glitter soothe them. The Calm Down Jar is a powerful anxiety management tool for many.

The falling glitter reminds your overwhelmed child that no feeling lasts forever, and that they have the power to lower their own stress levels. It's self-regulation, in a bottle.

Another feeling I like is calm,

When everything is quiet and just right.

I feel easy and free-flowing,

Especially, when I drift asleep at night.
