Book Description
The three authors worked together for years to create this amazing story of two brave and clever African children. In this first book of a series, Zumba and Rumba experience many exciting adventures after slave-trading warriors separate them from their parents during a raid. G. Alan Brooks "Poppy" is the grandfather of two grandchildren who are the same age as Zumba and Rumba. Poppy lives in Miami, Florida with his wife, and the grandchildren live in the Northeastern United States with their parents. Poppy has two other grandchildren who are now helping with book two: The Searching. The authors all love stories and books. The time spent together between the grandfather and the grandchildren collaborating on the book was super special. There were many hours of fun spinning tales, brainstorming and exploring multiple ideas through different resources. The authors did extensive research on African folklore, African wildlife, and African stories; reading books and learning about numerous aspects of the African Continent. This book has been growing as an idea for many years. In the last two years, it gained more shape and direction as Tyler and Ryan became almost the same age as Zumba and Rumba. His grandchildren helped the characters think and act their age, while Poppy typed the manuscript and helped with ideas for the different adventures The authors hope this book provides an inspiration and opportunity for families to have a special time together, reading and sharing stories.

Book Description
Th e Adventures of Zumba and Rumba Book One: Th e Separation was written with the two grandchildren who live in New York. Book Two: Th e Hunt for Th eir Father and Book Th ree: Th e Quest to Find Th eir Mother were written with Ruby Brooks, who lives in Miami. Th e authors all love stories and books. Th e time spent together with the grandfather and the grandchildren collaborating on the books was super special. Th ere were many hours of fun spinning tales, brainstorming, and exploring multiple ideas through diff erent resources. Th e authors did extensive research on African folklore, geography, wildlife, and stories, reading books and learning about numerous aspects of the African Continent. Ruby is very creative, and her vast imagination fueled many of these stories. Once a general idea for a chapter was developed, she quickly created many alternative situations and adventures. It was such fun to watch both new and old characters develop more fully in these last two books. Th e fourth book about adventures in Egypt is currently underway, and it is being written with Alana Brooks, who lives in Miami. All the grandchildren help with all of the books, but each book has a primary grandchild author(s). Th e authors hope these books provide inspiration and opportunity for families to have a special time together, reading and sharing stories.

Book Description
“Captivating…equal parts memoir and cultural history, Henry Alford seamlessly interweaves heartwarming and hilarious anecdotes about his deep dive into all things dance” (Misty Copeland, The New York Times Book Review). When Henry Alford wrote about his experience with a Zumba class for The New York Times, little did he realize that it was the start of something much bigger. Dance would grow and take on many roles for Henry: exercise, stress reliever, confidence builder, an excuse to travel, a source of ongoing wonder, and—when he dances with Alzheimer’s patients—even a kind of community service. Tackling a wide range of forms (including ballet, hip-hop, jazz, ballroom, tap, contact improvisation, Zumba, swing), Alford’s grand tour takes us through the works and careers of luminaries ranging from Bob Fosse to George Balanchine, Twyla Tharp to Arthur Murray. Rich in insight and humor, Alford mines both personal experience and fascinating cultural history to offer a witty and ultimately moving portrait of how dance can express all things human. And Then We Danced “is in one sense a celebration of hoofer in all its wonder and variety, from abandon to refinement. But it is also history, investigation, memoir, and even, in its smart, sly way, self-help…very funny, but more, it is joyful—a dance all its own” (Vanity Fair).
