Sometimes a simple song can help children navigate all of life's biggest feelings.
Do You Need a Song? is the joint project of childhood friends Everett and Kendall, who reconnected after two decades to create the book. Originally written as a song to help the author's son fall asleep, each rhyming, love-filled stanza of 'Do You Need a Song?' invites the reader into a new feeling. Kids will enjoy the colors and animal metaphors associated with each feeling, and there is even a hidden music note on each page to find. Whether read, or sung, Do You Need A Song? is a beautiful book kids and adults will enjoy.
Do You Need a Song? includes:
- full page, beautiful illustrations by Arizona-based watercolor artist Kendall Yvonne
- a search and find on every page!
- free music download of the book's text put to original song by musician Emerson Brubaker (link in the back of the book)
Praise for Do You Need a Song?'
"We all need a song sometimes and this lyrical, beautifully illustrated book might just be the song your child (or even you) needs to hear today."
- Amanda Friss
Owner, Parentheses Books
"As children ask to hear this book over and over, and they surely will, they receive a significant gift: a reassuring message of unconditional love. A gift they may carry and share as they go out into the world."
