Beschreibung
Children's books play a critical role in building a child's worldview, introducing new vocabulary, and imparting moral lessons in a young reader's own context. Yet there is a serious need for a perspective more attuned to the cultural and verbal complexities of Appalachia. Mommy Goose's Appalachian Melodies bridges the gap in children's literature and offers readers an opportunity to delight in language and the richness of music and storytelling in the region.
Each lyrical poem and nursery rhyme, in tandem with whimsical and vibrant wood carvings, taps into the world of natural wonder and homespun charm. Revealed is a world populated with people, farm animals, and wildlife that is equally familiar and fantastic to Appalachian children. The quaint and heartwarming poems offer lessons of kindness, acceptance, and respect, while not shying away from poignant glimpses of life's harsh realities. This colorful collection celebrates the art, language, and culture of Appalachia and creates a unique and magical world—for children of all ages.
