Week 4: Ballet at Six

   Dance! Children begin to dance before they can walk. They wave their hands, kick their legs, and swoop and sway By the time they can walk, they are twirling and leaping in joyful boogie waltzes. That is what this week's book of the week is about, Ballet at Six. 

A dancing lady from India on the cover...


Inside... "We join the dance...
"We move into the circle of learning...
"We become one with the tribe...
"And we are heaven-sent roses.
     It's a series of four etchings and handwritten text, bound in an accordion style that is a variation of the stiff leaf binding. The fabric soft cover is hand-dyed with dispersion dyes and woodblock printed with walnut ink. The paper is handmade Arches print paper. Sweet and happy, this little book makes you smile ...just like dancing.
