Today I’d like to introduce a blog that I recently discovered – Picture Books & Pirouettes. Author Kerry Aradhya is a children’s poet, dancer and aspiring picture book author and she has done a lovely job on this site where you will find numerous reviews of books for children. I’d never seen many of these–it was very interesting…
This week, Picture Books & Pirouettes is hosting a review and giveaway of The Barefoot Book of Dance Stories (a new collection of dance folktales from around the world). Later in the week, Kerry will also be blogging about the companion book, The Barefoot Book of Ballet Stories, and posting an interview with co-authors Jane Yolen and Heidi Stemple. You are invited to join in the fun!
Kerry is great and I’m super excited about her blog! I love picture books (and well I read a lot of them right now). I thought I had quite a little collection of dance ones going but Kerry has turned up some amazing finds.
I know–me too! It really is a terrific resource! Thanks for the vote of confidence! 🙂
I am so glad I discovered this blog too! Just perfect for working with the littles! Yippie 🙂
Yes! It’s a great one for you Maria! 🙂 For anyone who works with (or has, for that matter) kids!
Hi, everyone. I’m so excited to be connecting with all of you, too. I never knew so many dancers and dance teachers would be interested. I am over the moon! It is nice to be becoming a part of the online dance community, too…
