Published in 2018, Sometimes Rain is a great new addition to your collection of books on the theme of seasons. Try it out with students in preschool, K, 1st, and 2nd grades.
Meg Fleming's text is spacious and poetic to invite interpretation and choreographic choicemaking. The words inspire a dance with many sections, and possibly trios for each page spread.
As seen below, the text is rhyming. "Sometimes dreaming. Open skies. Sometimes chasing butterflies."
The text takes us through the seasons, describing both weather changes and activities enjoyed within each season. There are lots of action words for dancing: blazing, finding, stomping, and jumping, to name a few.
As for music, consider using "Recurring" by electronic artist Bonobo.
Enjoy!
