Overview of Down on James Street
James Street is alive with the sound of jazz! In 1930‘s Pittsburgh, Dorothy wants to dance the Lindy Hop. She finds the perfect partner in a young boy named George. They are having the time of their life…until the police storm the dance hall and shut it down for interracial dancing...with their bully clubs.
Dorothy has faced racial prejudice all her life, and she’s not giving up on the dance, while George comes face to face with his own white privilege. He must choose between going home or joining Dorothy in the fight to keep the dance alive.

About the Author Nicole McCandless
I was raised by a few hard-working, fiery women. They passed down a love of reading
and gave me the confidence to put words on the page. I’ve had many different jobs, including grocery store clerk, hostess, retail cashier, waitress, and labor organizer. I recently dove into a life of writing and raising up two humans. I love reading by myself in bed and with my kids on the floor. Other things I love include Ben, our sisters, being outside, dancing, singing, snacks, the changing of seasons, and sending people I love things in the mail.

About the Illustrator Byron GrambyArt school dropout to graduating magna cum laude from Point Park with a Bachelors in Psychology. Not content to leave his stories in the trash, Byron has self-published four other children’s stories over the years, along with two graphic novels. When he’s not creating children’s books, he’s taking a departure from children’s books to write dark, ambient synth tracks or equally grim comics.
