Adorable celebration of a young girl's love of dance, Ally Nathaniel writes of the joys of movement. Emma explains all her moves, enjoying the sensation of flight, letting her imagination soar as her feet propel her. She can be light as a feather or strong as a tree, enabling her to appreciate the beauty of dance. This short poem explains that when one dances, not only does it make worries melt away, it frees the "inner sun," and makes the proud dancer feel "nothing but glee."

This book is for the girls who love sparkles,crowns, tutus and dancing. Girls who loved being girls. Dancing makes her feel fabulous. Dancing makes her feel she can fly. Her arms are like wings. She dances high or low. No matter If it's jazz, tap or ballet, she feels like a Princess as she dancess.
In the book she says, " I am as light as feather and as strong as a tree. When I move around, I feel so totally free. "Probably

his rhyming book is targeted for the preschool audience. The protagonist is a young girl who loves to dance. This book talks about the different types of dances and the many emotions involved in the movement. It is useful to teach young children different verbs.
Young children who are into dance will probably enjoy the book. It attempts to build self-esteem. I read the Kindle version, which had a lot of formatting issues. I would recommend purchasing the print version of the book. A few of the rhymes don't quite work. There is an audio bonus at the end of the book.

🌟🌟🌟Dancing With the Sun by Ally Nathaniel. I recieved a copy of this ebook free from the author inexchange for a review. All opinions are my own. A picture book for 3 to 5 years old. A little girl that loves to dance matched with rhyming words makes for a quick read with your children and keeps them asking what's next? My little one became preoccupied with the words but adored the pictures. Review also posted on Library Thing, Instagram @jasonnstacie and on my blog https://readsbystacie.com

Adorably sweet.
First, we absolutely love rhyming story books. Two, this was so sweet. As I watched the smile on my youngest monsters face, I had flashbacks of when this was her. It was as if someone reached into my memories to tell a story written specifically about her. It was too cute. We loved it.

Cute, but the reading rhythm is off in a couple of and the illustrations are not very well done. I think she spent more time asking for five star reviews at the end of the story than was spent working on the book.

Great for young children
So cute! I love dancing and so does my 3yr old daughter. I enjoy the bright illustrations and the simple text on each page. Easy to read and keep my child's attention.

Cute book about dancing
This is a sweet and simple book about a girl who enjoys dancing. The pictures are pretty, and go along with the rhymes on each page. Little girls would love this book.

Dancing freely
This book encourages the reader to be true to themselves by doing what makes them happy and not worrying about what others might think. The imagery allows you to think about how the girl feels while dancing.

Decent kids book. I'll read it again.
Pretty decent kids book. It rhymed well and had a good cadence. Plus, the graphics were cute. My one and a half year old seemed to enjoy it.

Cute Rhymes
Story's rhymes were pretty good. My toddler enjoyed the pictures. It would have been easier for her to follow it words were on an illustrated page. Otherwise, great!

This book is structured from images that are approximately two-thirds of a page in size with an associated two-line segment of text. The images are colorful and feature a very cute young red-haired and freckled girl in a dance outfit. She is depicted in various dance poses and is clearly enjoying herself. The coloration is heavy on the blue and pinks and is not too bright, so they are easy on the eyes. Children will enjoy looking at the images.
Unfortunately, the text does not match the quality of the images. The two sentences associated with each image rhyme, but the cadence is often forced and somewhat stiff. Good rhyming has a smooth quality and many of the phrases in this book do not have that quality. Hence the three stars.

Children story-"Dancing With The Sun" (Girls Empowerment & Self Esteem Ebook Series) by Ally Nathaniel
Illustrated very colorful children's book about how dancing can help a girl with self esteem.
The little girl sees herself as having wings as her arms and when she stretches them she can reach places so far away.
There are many other examples in the book but you get the idea it allows one to dream and make things happen that make them happy.
I liked the story for the creativity and for allowing a child to show what she can do to express her words.
