Tammy the Troll: A Dance in the Forest

Grab a scarf and join the fun!

Kids will love dancing along with Tammy, Ballerina Konora, and their new friends in this sweet adventure that's perfect for preschool and kindergarten kids and classrooms.

Readers are invited to stretch, spin, jump and more as they act out the journey to find Tammy. Kids can use a scarf as a backpack, a paddle, butterfly wings, a towel, and a pillow to enhance the fun and explore movements, dance fundamentals, and early-learning concepts.

Tammy the Troll: A Dance in the Forest is ideal for ages 3-6. As kids move along with the book's diverse characters, they explore levels, direction, spatial awareness, emotions, balance, movement quality, partnering, and more.

Dance stories are a wonderful way to combine books and movement for kids who love both. Tammy the Troll: A Dance in the Forest is perfect for dance class, creative movement play, physical education, or any setting where children are inspired to explore and express themselves. If you're a caregiver, daycare provider, or teacher working with preschoolers, kindergarteners, or first-graders, your kids will love this active adventure.

Tammy the Troll: A Dance in the Forest is the first book in a series of prop-based movement stories that take kids on an imaginative journey using objects such as parachutes, bean bags, cushions, or balloons. This book is a collaboration with Pacific Northwest Ballet faculty member, Dina McDermott, who shared her dance students' favorite class activity.

Once Upon a Dance has won over 40 book awards including Family Choice and Mom's Choice Gold Awards. The mom-daughter team earned a Kirkus Reviews Starred Review and was named a Top 10 Author of 2022 by Outstanding Creator Awards.
