Reviews
Kindergarten-Grade 4-The renowned performer and choreographer shares his deep love for dance and movement in this poignant photo-essay. The text is brief and to the point. "I am a dancer. I want to dance." Colorful close-ups of his hands and feet contrast with full-body shots, all set against a stark, white background. Jones's simple attire accentuates his remarkable agility and grace. He warms up, creates images of lines and curves, flies high, hugs the ground, and reflects upon his characterization and immense joy in performing. The placement and sequencing of his poses work exceptionally well to convey the excitement and many moods of dance. Use for picture-book hours, programs introducing dance, and any opportunity to share a beautiful book with children.
