The Dance (1999)

      The Dance (1999) is the exceptional book that celebrates a father's love for a daughter who dances.  Jon Linton's  beautiful paintings capture moments when this daughter dances in the yard, in a school play, and on the stage. Her father smiles, even when she marries and moves away. At the end of his life, she dances so that he may smile again. "'You must never stop dancing,' he said. 'for though you will not see me, whenever you dance, I will be watching.'" This story is a sequence of events across decades with art that captures the love of a father for his child.
