Jager’s beautiful artwork, through pencil drawings and watercolours,
perfectly portrays the delicate nature of the mayfly.
Eye
catching double page spreads and gentle, calming text make Tiny Dancer
the ideal book for quiet time. This visually stunning and tender tale will have children eager for more information on the different life spans of animals. Patrick Guest depicts the short but
spectacular life-cycle of the mayfly in all its awe and wonder.
Konomi, the mayfly, is pictured as a beautiful dancer with satin shoes and the sheerest wings of printed silk.
Follow Konomi as she wonders at the beauty of the world around her. She
leaps and dances and plays. Tiny Dancer is a simple reminder to slow
down and reflect on the simple pleasures of life.
I love a book that has me searching the internet for more information. It is the perfect way to expand on the story and teach young children how to search out more information on a topic of interest.
Tiny Dancer is the perfect book for little nature lovers with inquisitive minds.
