Reviews

[Cheryl · Rating 3 out of 5]

More than poignant, rather, downright sad. Sheet music included. I wonder if children actually like books like this, though. (Library discard in near mint condition.)

Mommie and I used to sing this Judy Collins song together. It is on her "Colors of the Day" album. Love it!

[Beverly · Rating 5 out of 5]

A beautiful book that goes along with her beautiful song.
