Earthdance is a story that places the reader in the book as the main character. The main character grows throughout the story and looks at all the people on the earth. I absolutely adored this book because of its colorful illustrations, imaginative storyline, and beautiful ending and would use it in my teaching because it is such a special book. Earthdance is suitable for Grades K-3 and for themes of multiculturalism, nature, and acceptance of all people.
