WHY DO YOU DANCE WHEN YOU WALK - ABDOURAHMAN A ...

'Papa  why do you dance when you walk? When Aden's 8-year-old daughter asks him this one
morning in Paris  he is taken aback. The question is innocent  but the answer is not so simple.
Unable to resist Béa's inquisitive spirit  he moves silkily between memories of his childhood:
from his silent  mysterious mother and the shanty roofs of his neighbourhood to the malicious
attack that changed his life forever and the ensuing struggle that made him a man. Anchoring
his memories is a Djibouti on the cusp of independence  a land of shifting deserts and immense
heat  French-from-France ex-pats  and one lonely and sick boy finding solace in books. Why Do
You Dance When You Walk is a poignant and timeless story of the complexity of family  the value
of poetry and freedom  and the ripple effect of the traumas that stalk our movement.
