Mieko at Dance Camp

A warm and expressive story about friendship, the joy of dancing, the first night away from home, and the misunderstandings and complications that arise along the way.

Mieko is thrilled about dance camp! There will be so much dancing, AND they get to stay overnight. But why does Sofia suddenly say that Mariama can put her sleeping mat next to theirs? Mieko and Sofia had agreed that they would sleep beside each other.

And why can Dad never learn the difference between L and R? It’s definitely not called a rumpy pirrow!

Set in Skinkeape’s colourful and visually sparkling universe, this new book expands on themes from the first Mieko title. While Mieko Dances explored gender roles and norms, this story turns its focus to inclusion, exclusion, and the impact of racist remarks.
