As we head towards Sunday, May 12th, there are two great books to share about a child and mother dancing:
My Mama Had a Dancing Heart by Libba Moore Gray
Jonathan and His Mommy by Irene Smalls-Hector
My Mama Had a Dancing Heart is a sweet tale through the seasons of a girl dancing with her mother. The book is ideal to read in a preschool, kindergarten, or first grade classroom.
Jonathan and His Mommy is a picture book with a young boy dancing with his mother. They explore different ways of moving around town – big steps, zig zag walks, and more. After reading this book, you can easily translate this story into a dance. It is ideal for preschool and kindergarten age students.
