The Hush Little Baby lullaby book by Sylvia Long is currently the Lullaby-Link favorite. Ms. Long has composed beautiful new lyrics to replace the traditional version. In the traditional song, Daddy buys a series of gifts in a failed attempt to quiet his child. In Long’s version Mamma uses the wonders of nature to quiet her child. It is enchantingly illustrated with numerous opportunities to use baby signs together. In the video below our lullaby lady, Amy Robbins-Wilson, shares how she used this book with her son to have fun, teach, and communicate.
“If you can only get one lullabook for your library, or if you are looking for a fantastic baby shower gift, buy this book! Teaching our children the value of the beauty that surrounds us is a precious gift. With this book, Sylvia Long helps us pass the wonder of the world on to the next generation. I highly recommend this book.” - Amy Robbins-Wilson
