I Am a Dancer

32 pp. | Millbrook | April, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-0-8225-6369-3 $22.60
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mark Graham. "I am a dancer each morning / as I shimmy out of bed..." This paean to movement uses spare, sophisticated, lyrical text to describe a child's vision: "Sometimes I am a dancer / to a silent throb / that makes me / spin and sway / and try to fly." Painterly illustrations in muted hues display the various expressions of movement.
Reviewer: Amy Kellman
