Sing Through the Seasons

Once again, Plough has brought together a winning collection of old and new songs from around the globe. This time the theme is the four seasons, and the joys of childhood associated with each - robins and kites, seashells and fireflies, pumpkins and leaf piles, snowmen and ice skates. Swinger herself composed several of the tunes, but most are time-tested folk melodies. Gathered from dozens of countries - including Finland, Japan, Sweden, Jamaica, Poland, China, Russia, Germany, England, and Peru - they represent a broad spectrum of traditions that will suit the multi-cultural sensibilities of almost any home or school. the lyrics include poems by such well-known children's authors as Kate Greenaway, Robert Louis Stevenson, Eleanor Farjeon, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Lois Lenski.
