Hi, my name is Jamila Simmons. I am 36 years old. I am a mother of a 10-year-old daughter. She actually gave me the idea for the book. I put her through two years of dance classes. It is what she enjoys very much. She really loves dancing. She is really the inspiration to write this book. This book is also geared toward young children working on what they love doing but keeping focus on what is important in their young lives.
