Raindrops Roll

Rain is coming. You can feel it in the air.

So begins the new picture book Raindrops Roll by April Pulley Sayre. 

With clear photographs and poetic text, this is an example of a book where the words literally dance off the page and inspire students to move.

Most of the text can be directly used to create actions and movement phrases. Verbs include: plop, drop, patter, spatter, wash, weigh down, and thud. 

This book can be used with students in preschool and also K-2 classes. Try out the instrumental song "Halinkata Djoubé" by Ballaké Sissoko and Vincent Siegel for your project.
