Shall We Dance?

"Shall We Dance" captures the magical bond between a boy and his grandmother that spans a lifetime and beyond. Each time the pair gets together, their unconditional love and joy will bring both laughter and tears to your eyes as they dance, sing, and play.

Follow Grandma Ging Ging while she visits her grandson Rio throughout the years, as he grows from a baby to a young man. Together, they play hide and seek, ride bikes, make pizza, and go for walks. At the end of each visit, Ging Ging asks Rio if he would like to dance. But when Ging Ging gets too old to dance, Rio refuses to accept it.

Whimsical illustrations bring the story to life and will delight children and touch the hearts of adults. Be prepared to laugh and cry as you witness the true meaning of family.

This moving story, inspired by author Ingrid Deringer's own mother who loved to play, sing, and dance in the kitchen with her children and grandchildren, will be read over and over again for years to come. "Shall We Dance" is a timeless children's book that is perfect for grandparents, parents, and children alike.

Ingrid Deringer was born in Saskatchewan, Canada and has lived on the East Coast, West Coast, and everywhere in between. She holds a BA in Psychology and an MA in Women's Studies and is also an acupuncturist and wedding celebrant. She has worked in the health and wellness field for over 25 years. Now semi-retired, she loves to hang out with her four amazing grandchildren and spend winters in warm climates where she can write to her heart's content with her feet in the sand.

"Shall We Dance" is her first children's book, inspired by memories of her mother dancing in the kitchen—a tradition Deringer continues herself to this day.

Deringer is also the author of a novel, "If I Could Live Again," which is to be released in the summer of 2021. She is currently working on a second novel and a short story.
