'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.
