Twenty-Four songs enjoyable by young and old alike - this is a great addition to any CD collection, and a perfect gift for children and grandchildren! Jennifer's vocals, guitar and dulcimer are joined by Lewis Lamb on the fiddle and his daughter, Donna on the guitar, and the vocal talents of Ben Miller and Jennifer's daughters, Lydia and Isabel. Jennifer's husband, Alfredo Escobar, makes his instrumental debut on this project, playing the train whistle. The songs are divided into "Sing-Alongs" and "Sleepy Songs," so parents can tailor the listening experience for the situation. Play the whole CD during playtime, or just the last half for bedtime. Sing along with all the songs in the car - adults too - and create musical memories with your families that will last a lifetime.

Available with the CD, for the first time, is a booklet of lyrics and anecdotal reflections about the songs, written by Jennifer Rose. The pictures included on almost every page chronicle the songs and the singer in a way that adds to the narrative style of the reflections and invites the reader on a journey into Jennifer's life and music.
