Welcome Cool Mom Pics Readers!
 Enjoy a free download of the song, Thank You, from our CD, The Birthday Suite. It's a song of thanks from child to mother, and from mother to child.
Children's author/illustrator duo Andrea Gosline and Lisa Bossi of Ambledance Studios and family musician Charity Kahn of Charity and the JAMband form a trio of mothers creating poetry, art, music and dance for families. Charity's CD, The Birthday Suite, was inspired by Andrea and Lisa's creation, January's Child: The Birthday Month Book (Scholastic Press). About The Birthday Suite Featuring the song January's Child: The Birthday Month Song, Charity and the JAMband take the listener on a musical journey through the land of birthdays, wishes and love. About January's Child "In this fresh ode to birthdays, celebrate the unique gifts you bring into the world when you're born. Take a journey through the calendar year and discover the animal symbol and affirmation poem belonging to everyone in your circle. This gift book for all ages sings, "EVERY day is somebody's birthday!"
"Gosline and Bossi's latest collaboration is an ideal gift for a newborn. Devoting one spread to each month of the year, Gosline outlines some of the personality traits associated with children born in that month, and uses similes to help children understand how those traits will affect the people around them. "May's child is merry, amusing, and free, / gathering love like a large family. / You are happy as spring in a meadow row, / bringing your light wherever you go." On facing pages, Bossi's jewel-tone illustrations capture those traits in animal form, along with a final couplet listing more traits. For April: "I am thoughtful. I stretch. I float. I create. / I am open. I hope. I honor. I wait." ... The gentle rhymes and luminous artwork reminiscent of Helen Ward will soothe even the most difficult of personalities, making this a good bedtime choice. " Happy Mother's Day! |
