Kitchen Dance

Author and Illustrator: Maurie J. Manning
Buy – Kitchen Dance  

Family harmony at its richest! A little girl wakes to sounds in the kitchen. A deep voice is humming and someone laughs. “Hush!”

Waking her brother Tito, the children sneak downstairs to discover mama’s bright skirt swirling past the crack in the door. Their father is singing a Spanish song into the wooden spoon.

” Oh how I love you!” They dance and spin as they do the dishes together. Pots clang into the cupboards and mama bumps the cabinet door shut with her hip!

Singing and dancing they clean up their simple kitchen which is alive with colour and love!

When Papa finally spots their peeking eyes, the children are scooped up into their parents arms and they all sing “IComo te quiero!”, “Oh how I love you” in the magic of the family circle.

As the song grows sleepy, the children are gently carried back to bed with kisses and kindness.

This Latino-American family playfully role-model both a loving relationship between parents and the happiness, fun and love of a family. Narrated by the little girl, Kitchen Dance is vibrant and inspiring.

The wonderful illustrations perfectly mirror the energies of the story. The soft sleepy purple shadows of the darkened house are exchanged for a child’s eye view of the bright kitchen. In the sunshine of love, mama’s pink and yellow skirts bloom beside the spring green cupboards.

The expressive faces are cleverly drawn to reflect happiness on so many levels.
Tender and filled with power!
