"Read It. Move It. Share It" is a monthly collaboration with popular dance educator Maria Hanley in which we explore how different picture books can be incorporated into dance and creative movement classes for young children. Each month I recommend a book for Maria to try out in her classes, and then we both share our experiences with the book. I often provide an in-depth look at the book and its creation, and Maria shares ideas for movement that were inspired by the book's text or illustrations. Maria and I have so much fun together, and I always look forward to the creative ideas she comes up with!
