Description

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of this wonderful story about dreams, believing in yourself... and a dancing kangaroo.

Josephine Wants To Dance features Josephine, a kangaroo who loves to dance. Her little brother, Joey, reminds her that kangaroos don't dance, they hop. Nevertheless, Josephine continues to point her toes and leap through the air with determination.

When a ballet troupe visits their town and both the lead ballerina and understudy are injured, Josephine's talents are sought to help save the performance. Can she rise to the occasion, and does it matter that she's a kangaroo?
