We All Sing with the Same Voice
I live across the street,In the mountains,On the beach.I come from everywhere.And my name is you.No matter where they live, what they look like, who is in their families, or  what they do, all children, at heart, are the same. ThisSesame Streetsong by J. Philip Miller and Sheppard M. Greene comes to life with Paul Meisel's  happy illustrations. Children from Texas, Peru, and southern France; with black  hair, red hair, or yellow hair; named Jack or Amanda Sue or Kareem Abdu; rejoice  in the fact that they all "sing with the same voice." Meisel paints a picture of  diversity that is buoyant and beautiful. Children in their native garb, from  serapes to woven vests to blue jeans, open their mouths wide in song,  encouraging young readers to sing along with the accompanying CD. Meisel has  illustrated many popular picture books, including Jean Craighead George'sHow to Talk to Your CatandGo Away, Dog, by Joan L.  Nodset. (Baby to preschool)--Emilie Coulter
