My Mama Had A Dancing Heart (Orchard Paperbacks) Editorial Review:
Captured by her mother's infectious love of dance, a young girl joyously follows her mother in a dance through the seasons, from a frog-hopping, hello spring ballet through a slow-motioned, snow-angel winter dance.

Gorgeous words and illustrations
My two year old son asks me to read this book several times a day. It is such a wonderful celebration of seasons and the loving bond between parent and child. It is pure poetry. The illustrations are beautiful and unique.
Galoshes-Galumphing!
This book certainly expanded my three year old's vocabulary! She recently began creative dance and loves the book. You'll find her dancing around outside singing, "Galoshes-galumphing, Galoshes-galumphing, Galoshes-galumphing!" Lots of fun!
My Mama Had A Dancing Heart
This book is wonderfully descriptive and takes the reader through a beautiful journey through the seasons. It also emphasizes the influence special people can have in our lives. Recommended for readers young and old.
A Lyrical Elegy for Dance
This book is a treasure for all who love the melody of words, and the syncopation of the dance. It reads like a poem, and gives a joyous, yet subtly nostalgic, paen to the dance, and the love between a mother and a daughter. I bought it as a gift to the students I have who are dancers, to read to them, and to bring into the world of dance. It is truely a musical book!The scratched illustrations dance in their own right, too.
Love it
Nice art and poetry. It's one of our favorites. I love reading it to my children.
