¡José! Nacido para bailar cuenta la historia de un niño que nació en un pequeño pueblo mexicano y que se convirtió en uno de los más grandes bailarines de todos los tiempos: José Limón.
José era un niño con una canción en su corazón y la danza en los pasos. Nacido en México en 1908, vino al mundo tirando más patadas que un cabestro y, al crecer, se apasionó por el dibujo, el piano y los sueños. Los sueños de José lo llevaban a lugares distantes. Soñaba con toreros y con el sonido de los bailadores de cancán que él había visto con su padre. La danza encendió una llama en el alma de José.
Con el corazón de guía, José dejó a su familia y fue a Nueva York a bailar. Aprendió a fluir y a flotar y a volar a través del espacio con pasos que eran como la brisa mexicana. Cuando José bailaba, su espíritu se elevaba por los aires. De Nueva York a tierras lejanas, José Limón llegó a ser conocido como el hombre que le dio al mundo su propio estilo de danza.
El texto lírico de Susanna Reich y las brillantes ilustraciones de Raúl Colón cuentan la historia de un niño que estaba decidido a marcar la diferencia en el mundo y así lo hizo. ¡José! Nacido para bailar inspirará a los lectores a seguir a sus corazones y vivir sus sueños.
