The Rainbow Book by Kate Ohrt is a unique addition to your collection of books about colors and emotions. If you work with 4-7 year olds, check out this book.
Instead of images of people or animals, the art in the book is a series of paper cut outs, reminiscent of handmade snowflakes or Mexican cutout banners:
Seven colors are represented in the book:
- Pink
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- Purple
The text on each page will inspire an improv, or help you create a group dance. "When I feel orange, I am energetic and strong…..When I feel blue, I am calm and peaceful."
The Rainbow Book will be a great springboard to explore different emotions and different movement qualities with students in preschool, kindergarten, and first grade.
