From Booklist:
Ages birth-4yrs. Designed for adults to sing to babies and preschoolers, this collection of 10 African American lullabies includes the words and full musical scores as well as notes on each song and a general introduction. Some are traditional songs (such as "All the Pretty Little Horses"); others are by contemporary writers and musicians, including three beautiful hush songs with original words by Thomas. Most of the full-page illustrations are soft and sentimental, with greeting-card borders and design, but the songs themselves are timeless. As Thomas notes, historically African American women took the songs from Europe, embellished them with African meaning, and shaped them into something new. They touch all of us. Hazel Rochman
