Knockin' On Wood

This book, by Lynne Barash, is a wonderful non-fiction story, about a biography of Clayton Bates. In 1912, in South Carolina, when Bates was 5, he was dancing at every chance he had. Then he had an accident and lost part of his leg. But that didn't stop him. He got a peg leg and danced anytime he wanted. Soon he became a famous dancer. They called him "Peg Leg Bates." We still remember his wonderful life as a dancer.
