"The Dancing Light is both a beautifully designed book for children as well as an inspiring lesson planning tool for teachers. The action words, visuals, and poetry on each page provide rich imagery for children to dance along with the book. Karen has found a way to connect academic content with dance concepts in a seamless and profound way. This is a great book for families, caregivers, teachers and dancers to inspire dance making about the many aspects of LIGHT!"

Director and Clinical Associate Professor of Dance Education, NYU Steinhardt
"The [books] take the reader on an enchanting journey filled with colorful landscapes and whimsical images of the natural world! The books are brimming with movement vocabulary brought to life by dancing children! This is a perfect resource for Pre/K-5 dance educators interested in integrating dance and science into student dance making."
