Children Love Lullabies

Lullabies are beautiful songs that calm colicky babies and soothe screaming toddlers.

They are also enjoyed by the older child who needs reassurance that all is well with this crazy world.

As an adult, I continue to sing lullabies for my own enjoyment.

Lullabies are songs that are handed down from one generation to another.  They are full of history.  They connect us with musicians and poets of the past.

I have found this wonderful website that features all kinds of lullabies.  There are hundreds of lyrics for you to copy. If you don't remember the tune you can listen to the website's author, Amy Robbins-Williams, sing the lullaby.   http://www.lullaby-link.com/index.html

Learn a lullaby and pass on a wonderful gift to your children!
