Awesome

This is an excellent book. I have used it with preshcoolers ages 3 - 5 as an introduction to the evolution of Afro-American music. The children and the teachers love it! I found this book and cassette tape to be a wonderful teaching source. I am disappointed it is not available.

Great resource

Beautiful tape of music to introduce to your children. Some songs are instrumental. Includes songs such as "Miss Mary Mack," "Say It Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud," "Lift Every Voice," "Kumbaya," etc. The book has the words with wonderful illustration of Black children. No sheet music, but a few arrangements are included.
