MORE about Lighting's Lessons & a note from Shari: I love music and how it makes me feel and how it always brings me to a place in time. Therefore, my dream has been to educate children (and their parents) not only with well-written thoughtfully produced songs (incorporating fundamental learning and participation), but more importantly to inspire and educate about roots/blues music, what it sounds like, how it feels, and who our amazing musicians are! With partner Doug Woolverton, my dream has come true! Lightning's Lessons (LL) is a multi-platform experience incorporating this lyrical sing-along book and 11 songs in the roots/blues genre (LL featuring blues all-stars)! The music is (mainly) geared to children (PreK to 1st grade), but music lovers of all ages will enjoy it too! I hope you pic up the book and music to learn on multiple levels! This collection is educational and fun! Edu-tainment as its best!
