Reviewed by William Phenn for Reader Views (12/05)

Shirley Cheng is a brilliant young Author. She has managed to combine a very enchanting series of Poetry and Prose into one delectable volume. An entertaining and imaginative book for the whole family.

Beginning with “Spectrum Unity”, a most compelling story of the Goddesses of color and how they added color to the world. To such sad as, “Trapped in Panic”, the story of a turtle who losses its common sense. There is the “Funny Animal Poem”, that will not only teach kids the alphabet, but animal names too. The stories are compelling from first page to last. Presented with an imaginative flair that will keep the readers attention.

“Dance With Your Heart” will be an enjoyable read for all. Some stories do have sad endings, but then not all fantasy has a happy ending. The book has its share of these so a caution to parents with very young children. Read the story yourself, first, then decide if it is fitting for your children. “Think Before Leaping” is one such tale about a Frog, who later gets eaten.

Shirley Cheng, the versatile Author of this interesting volume, is a miracle in herself. Stricken with severe Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of eleven months, she has accomplished more by her mid twenties, than most of us have in our lifetime. Ms. Cheng lost her eyesight at the age of seventeen and still continued to write. She has had many trials and tribulations in life and thanks to her mother Juliet, has managed to overcome these obstacles.

I highly recommend, “Dance with Your Heart” to everyone who enjoys good wholesome writing. If you like Walt Disney, you will love, “Dance with Your Heart”.
