Winner of the Parents' Choice Gold Award
“ ... a collection of astonishingly beautiful songs shaped around the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson's iconic book, A Child's Garden of Verses. With exquisite sensitivity to the rich language of these gentle, pastoral visions of childhood, Jacobs uses melodic nuance to capture the boundlessness of a child's imagination and, for adult ears, a deep and wistful resonance…”
Lynne Hefley - Parents’ Choice & The Los Angeles Times
“The perfect gift to give for a mother to be... beautiful acoustic instruments and vocals blend perfectly with classic children's poems... an especially wonderful way to share music and poetry with your infant.”
Chicago Parent Magazine
“Ted Jacobs has so marvelously paired his own melodies with these poems, it’s hard to believe he didn’t write them both. His amazing team of vocalists and musicians have truly created some delicious “ear candy” for families to enjoy!” SIMPLE Magazine
“…a pure lyrical and melodious gem… Jacobs’ melodies fit like a well-tailored glove and embrace everything from waltz-time and sea chantey, to jig and nocturne."
Paula Slade - National Children’s Entertainment
"A beautiful reflection of the world of a child! This album encourages children to reflect, dream, and nurture their imaginations... The songs allow listeners to be taken to a place of happiness, peace, beauty, and love... The perfect match for the poetry!
