MY MAMA HAD A DANCING HEART

This story is a tribute to a mother full of joy, who has inspired her child to enter the world of dance. In each season of the year, mother and daughter sample various outdoor seasonal activities and, afterwards, seasonal refreshments. Bonnie Kelly-Young provides a lyrical voice for a lyrical story. The musical lilt in her voice is supplemented by gentle and light background music, and she provides time to savor the dreamlike pencil and watercolor illustrations that bring richness to the story. The combined effect is so light and uplifting that the listener will want to dance. A.R. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 02]
