Dance With Me

Published in 1995, this was one of the last books produced by Barbara Esbensen before she passed away. As with most of her books, the theme is nature. In this case, the poems depict how bubbles, flowers, shadows, the wind, and other items in nature dance as they go through a day. It is a delightful collection, and it won the Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award in 1996, and was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 1996.
