Lupe Wong Won't Dance by Donna Barba Higuera
5.0
In response to that viral tweet (https://twitter.com/pyroov8/status/1383946640050950150) about square dancing, someone mentioned the racist origins of why square dancing is in school curriculums. The author of this book happened to pop in and mention that she wrote a whole book that addresses it.
Naturally, that's right up my alley! And even better, it's a middle-grade book! Middle-grade books that address serious social issues are my JAM!! And this book did not disappoint.
I also adore the inclusion of one of my favorite quotes (though I totally use the shorter version more often).

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.
