Songs in the Shade of the Cashew and Coconut Trees – Book 1
Lullabies and Nursery Rhymes from West Africa and the Caribbean
A lively collection of 12 traditional songs that pay homage to the communities of West Africa and the Caribbean. Discover stories about children playing in the schoolyard, sisters braiding each other’s hair, and parents dancing late into the night.
Lullabies and Nursery Rhymes from Brazil and Portugal
The music styles of samba, modinha, and fandango, not to mention a velvety smooth bossa nova, rule in this diverse 15-song collection. Spanning Lisbon to Bahia, and Porto to Rio, a range of play-time songs showcase work, play, courtship, love, and travel themes.
Discover a North African journey of traditional music from Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. This collection offers a 30-song anthology performed in Arabic and Berber, and is a grand achievement in its eclectic selection of melodies.
Bertie and his buddies never get bored with each other… except for the time when it rained for four straight weeks! The journey to the faraway destination won’t be easy, but with a little help from newly made animal friends, they make it to the summit, which happens to be the best place in the whole world for a picnic! An imaginative musical tale interspersed with 18 original and traditional songs.
Mama and Papa Possum tell the story of how they first met and where their glory days as a musical duo began! Take a trip to the bayou in this side-splitting, toe-tapping tale that pays homage to Louisiana’s Cajun and Zydeco music traditions. The first story from a series that follows these two plucky marsupials on travels that bring them to the birthplaces of Cajun, jazz, country, rock’n’roll, blues, and traditional Quebecois music. At the end of each book, explanatory notes delve into the key figures, instruments and customs behind each genre.
Rediscover your favourite folk songs with this endearingly offbeat rendering of six classics: “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain,” “Little Bingo,” “This Old Man,” “Pop Goes the Weasel,” “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad,” and “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”
Discover 10 delightful, lighthearted sing-along songs about funny irresistible animal characters, including cuddly cats and dogs who just want to be your friend, even on a rainy day!
Awaken children’s vocabularies with this sunny collection of folk-pop songs. These upbeat melodies and accessible lyrics were written to help budding language learners discover how to share their feelings, hopes, and dreams.
