About the Book

“Little Yura Loves to Dance” by Garry Gekhman is a heartwarming children’s story about friendship, resilience, and discovering joy through movement. Little Yura is a cheerful boy who loves to play and wants to be friends with everyone. But school isn’t always easy—sometimes his classmates aren’t very kind. One day, a friend offers a simple but powerful piece of advice: dance!

As Yura follows this suggestion, he discovers a passion for dancing that not only brings him happiness but also helps him connect with others in a whole new way. With expressive illustrations that capture Yura’s journey from sadness to joy, this uplifting tale shows how creativity and self-expression can be a bridge to friendship and confidence.

Perfect for young readers who enjoy stories of overcoming challenges, “Little Yura Loves to Dance” reminds children that being yourself and finding what makes you happy can inspire others, too. A delightful read-aloud for families, classrooms, and anyone who believes in the power of dance to bring people together.
