I Am a Dancer
Poet Pat Lowery Collins shows children that their everyday motions—catching a ball, reaching up to a shelf, or shuffling through the rain—can contain all of the elements of a dance. Mark Graham’s lovely oil paintings give the reader a new appreciation of the beauty of natural movements.
