This cherished collection of Jewish lullabies, folk songs, and nursery rhymes has no real age limit for enjoyment. Sung in Hebrew, Judeo-Spanish, Yiddish, and Arabic by adults and children-and wrapped in the dancing, yearning strains of Klezmer music-the songs paint a colorful portrait of family life. In the beautiful accompanying hardcover book, Italian artist Beatrice Alemagna decorates each page of lyrics and English translations with tender gouache-and-collage illustrations. The book includes the history of the languages heard, as well as the origin and meaning of each song. Music and text are perfect for shared listening and reading time.
