This picture book follows one girl’s journey of discover as she
is introduced to steppin' as a form of community solidarity and
personal expression. The art of step has been interwoven with
Black history for hundreds of years, but is particularly

presents steppin' as a proud tradition, a living art form,
and a tool for social empowerment.

Written by the mother-daughter duo Jewell Parker Rhodes and
Kelly McWilliams, and gorgeously illustrated by Briana Mukodiri
Uchendu, Soul Step is a loving ode to sisterhood and the
tradition of stepping that lets women and girls, and people of
all backgrounds, step loud and be proud. Book, 48 pages.
