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.
