The book is set in the 1930 and based on the historic story of Mokawk steelworks. The little boy in the story has a father who has gone to the city to work on the NewYork Sky scrapers. He misses his father and only get to see him on weekends. One day his Mama takes him into the city to visit his father. This are much different from the ways he is use to on the reservation. When he sees his father at work on the tall buildings he describes it as seeing his father dance across the sky. This is where the title of the book comes from. The book was easy to read and moved at a fast pace. I would recommend the book to others. It's a good book to read while learning more about New York City. It gives us a chance to think about how the city might have looked in the 1930's before all of the sky scrapers were built.
