My copy of Eric Telchin's See a Heart Share a Heart just arrived today. My 7th graders are excited to explore it next week in dance. I think the book can be used with a wide range of ages, with students in grades K-8.
Telchin photographed hearts found all around us – light that made the shape of a heart, plants, twisted items, and much more. But, the real inspiration for a dance class will be the poetic language:
See a heart
Share a heart
Catch a heart
Keep a heart
In the text, approximately 20 different verbs are used. The language is rich with movement potential and many creative interpretations of the words (change, touch, share, tend, warm….).
You still have time to find copies, new and used, through Powell's Books and Amazon.com.
