Grab a front row seat and join Baby, David, and me as we chat about his brand new board book! Full of rock music vocabulary and based on everyone's favorite lullaby, this conversation is full of reminders that the path may be long and twisty, with surprises along the way. It also reminds us that flexibility is key. It's a fun chat -- full of arts and heart. ​

The rockinest, rolliest take on Rock-a-Bye Baby you've ever seen!  Bright, beautiful, and bold illustrations, lots of rock and roll subgenres and musical vocabulary, and loads of fun!  You and your littles will thoroughly enjoy this superfun musical boardbook that is full of rock'n'roll heart! 

Music Travel ids is one of my very favorite music groups.  Such a sweet, laid-back sound. This is a lovely version of Rock-a-Bye Baby -- and it has additional verses, which is cool.  This may not be quite as "rockin'" as some of the other songs in the playlist, but it's definitely my favorite!  If you're more interested in rock genres or other connections to the book, definitely check out the YouTube playlist! There are plethoras of versions of Rock-a-Bye Baby, lots of videos about rock music and subgenres of rock, and some other books that would make great companions. I also added some play-along and karaoke versions too. Lots of options there!

ROCK STARS DON'T NAP

It might be a bit longer than the typical PBJamz interview, but it winds its way around so many topics and is very interesting and entertaining!  Sandra is a delightful conversationalist and I think that you will enjoy this chat.  I know I did. Come learn about her inspiration, the journey and much, much more!

A tale of rhythm, running, a drum, a secret, and a big ole dose of pride! An old tale, well-told in a new way with charming illustrations.  

A super-fun (and sometimes fast) rhythm play-along for rhythm sticks by Cuban artist Celia Cruz!  This would be great for grades 1 and up. Kinders could probably do it with some extra practice, too.  So fun!  If this is not your jam, check out the YouTube playlist for more Cuban music, virtual field trips and more!
