One Step at a Time, by multi-award-winning dancer and choreographer Gregory Vuyani Maqoma, takes children on a triumphant journey through his extraordinary life. This autobiographical children's chapter book was brought to life with enchanting illustrations from the acclaimed illustrator Elizabeth Pulles. Gregory shares his journey of self-discovery, reminding children that their dreams can take them on extraordinary adventures, such as what happened to him. Gregory grew up in Soweto during the harsh apartheid years but always dreamed of dancing. He found magic in music and dance as a young child. The jazz music his father listened to, the gumboot dancers at the men's hostel and seeing Michael Jackson on television stirred his imagination. Gregory also played the big drum for a marching band with the drum majorettes. He created his band, The Joy Dancers, which performed for his community. Gregory recounts how he reached his dreams through perseverance and determination that pushed him to audition for a dance school in Johannesburg. As the title suggests, one step at a time, and one will get where they want to be. It takes courage, determination, patience, consistency and perseverance. The book is dazzling, informative, and profoundly rich as Gregory's dreams, encouraging all children. This book is his legacy and our children's heritage.
