The lyrics of musi­cian Rick Recht’s lul­la­by have been paired with artist Ann Koffsky’s bright and whim­si­cal illus­tra­tions to cre­ate a cheer­ful and upbeat board book for the youngest of the young as they are intro­duced to the con­cept of appre­ci­a­tion for what they have. A link to a music down­load of the lul­la­by is includ­ed, as is a link to col­or­ing pages by the artist. The illus­tra­tions are qui­et­ly mul­ti- cul­tur­al and sub­tly include one of a child in a wheel­chair among a group of chil­dren. This is a sim­ple, sweet par­ent-and-child-expe­ri­ence and is rec­om­mend­ed for read­ing and singing aloud to chil­dren ages infant to 3
