ABOUT THE BOOK
A glorious collection of 10 African-American lullabies. Here are the hush songs that have gentled babies and comforted children for generations, from "Brown Baby" and "Scarlet Ribbons" to "Raisins and Almonds."
Also included are 3 original hush songs by Thomas including "A Song for You," with music by gospel composer Steven Roberts along with "Petal Child" and "The Angels Lullaby."
Compiled with Dr. Olly Wilson, gifted professor of music, the collection reflects ancient memories and tomorrow's promises.
Beautifully illustrated by Brenda Joysmith, this one-of-a-kind collection includes easy-to-read notated music, historical headnotes, and an introduction by Ms. Thomas.
