Synopsis: Songs about children playing in the schoolyard, sisters braiding each other’s hair at the beach, and parents dancing late into the night mesh together thanks to the music. A wide array of styles—nursery rhymes from Gabon, lullabies from Cape Verde, and rumbas from the Congo—are performed in more than a dozen languages. Luminous artwork and homegrown instruments round off this wonderful celebration of history, language, and culture. Lyrics appear in their original language and in English, along with notes on culture, a world map, and a code for song downloads and print-outs.

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟
My Review: This was a pretty interesting title. But I had issues pronouncing the words. I think this one would work best for a school/classroom setting. So the teacher could read it to the class. I loved the music and had fun listening to it! I really enjoyed the colors and artwork though.
