To sing a lullaby is to take part in an ancient and important ritual of love. This unique book features words and music to 14 of the most beautiful lullabies from around the world, each illustrated with paintings by Mary Cassatt (1844-1926), an American contemporary of Degas and Manet famous for her paintings of women and children. Important for both restful sleep and early language development, these wonderful songs will be a treasure at every bedtime.
