Description: The story centers around 11-year-old Ailey Benjamin Lane, who is certain that he’ll land the role of the Scarecrow in his school’s production of The Wiz. But when things go terribly wrong at auditions, he confides in his Grampa that he’s ready to quit. However Grampa believes in Ailey, and to encourage him, he shares a childhood secret. As a boy, Grampa dreamed of becoming a tap dancer; he was so good that the Hollywood star and unofficial Mayor of Harlem, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, even gave him a special pair of tap shoes. Curious, Ailey tries on the shoes . . . and instantly finds himself transported to 1930s Harlem. There he meets a young street tapper and realizes that it’s his own grandfather! Can Ailey help the 12-year-old version of Grampa change his stars, in turn helping to change Ailey’s stars as well?
