Publisher's Synopsis
Once upon a lullaby, children everywhere fall asleep in the arms of those who love them. Their sleeping goes lightly. Their waking comes gently. Once upon a lullaby, bedtime is a beautiful time for children everywhere-a balmy drifting into dreams, safe in the arms of those who love them. ONCE UPON A LULLABY invokes just such a mood. Light and gentle, these lyrical verses invite Baby to sleep, charmed by a bookful of fun, full-color, child's-eye-view illustrations. These poems were originally written as lyrics to a collection of songs recorded by soprano, Jenni Samuelson and pianist, Steven Thomas. Gorgeous melodies and lilting piano lines reinforce the sweetness of the verse. Readers can look for the companion recording of "Once Upon a Lullaby: Beautiful Songs for Bedtime" at www.ideasexpressed.org.
