Wordsworth Dances the Waltz

In Wordsworth Dances the Waltz, children are introduced to the concept that as grandparents age, they may become different, and even forget important things. But that doesn't mean they aren't still a part of the family nor do they love us any less than they did before. As the 32-page story progresses, Wordsworth finds comfort in writing poems that express his confusion over the changes in his beloved grandparent and the fond memories he has of her more vibrant days. His poems also help his family understand that Grandma would still like to do things she always loved-spending time with the family, laughing and dancing. Wordsworth Dances the Waltz is the second book featuring the literary mouse. The first Wordsworth title, Wordsworth the Poet, was the recipient of the 2004 Ka Palapala Book Award for Excellence in Children's Books from the Hawai'i Book Publishers' Association.DeSica, Melissa is the author of 'Wordsworth Dances the Waltz', published 2007 under ISBN 9780979064739 and ISBN 0979064732.
