Beautifully recorded lullabies from around the world are sung in the language of origin along with an illustrated bedtime story-in English, Spanish, and French-about an imaginary journey to unknown lands. Performers Bia, Marco Calliari, Hart-Rouge, Paul Kunigis, Penny Lang, Luc Lopez, Muna Mingole, Zal Idrissa Sissokho, and Lynda Thalie share their culture in offering lovely, warm lead vocals and harmonies, supported by a highly skilled group of musicians playing more than 30 different instruments. The earth-toned, dreamlike illustrations reflect both the subject and country of origin of each song.
