This fall, I am privileged to spend some time teaching music to families with young children, again.
My husband and I have begun accumulating a little library of books with songs, for young children. There is a book series we enjoy tremendously. The songs are adapted by John M. Feierabend, with very creative artwork from various artists to add illustration and give fodder for discussion with children.
Our little toddler knows each book by the title and knows all the songs. Every time she comes over, she pulls these books out for Opa to sing to her. Opa has never had so much fun in his life. The first one we purchased was "The Tailor and the Mouse." We love it especially for the tune in Aeolian minor tonality and its bouncy rhythm, all while the poor mouse has to live through several stunning adventures.
Which brings me to a new little children's illustrated song-book from Concordia Publishing House.
I also bought it on Amazon, due to Amazon's efficient way of finding books for me...
LORD, Keep Us Steadfast in Your Word. is such a wonderful, old Reformation hymn that it is a TREASURE to have it in this format for family use.
Thank you, to Martin Luther for writing the hymn. Thank you to Karyn Lukasek for her illustrations, and thank you to the Publisher. This is a great addition to our well-used children's illustrated song book shelf.
Below, also see Grandma's music studio supplies and reachable bookshelves for self-service for little people.
