Lullabies The sounds of the sea, wind, and rain during an approaching storm serve as background to this beguiling lyrical Gaelic lullaby. A crying baby is soothed to sleep by the many loving members of his family amid the snug atmosphere of an Irish cottage. A lovely lullaby. This collection of simple poems is about being kind, solving problems, learning from mistakes, telling the truth, and more. A companion guide provides activities to introduce self-esteem and empowerment for young children.
Every lesson includes one or two activities lasting fifteen to twenty minutes.
A variety of learning styles and modes are accommodated. Illustrations nicely complement the lightness of the text. This compilation of poems lightheartedly touches on the issues commonly faced by children, such as not wanting to wear glasses, being rotund, practicing the piano, and playing on the playground. The poems will warm the hearts of readers as they relate to the subjects and see the photographs. This book introduces children to the lost art of play rhymes.
