Do You Need a Song?

Sometimes a simple song can help children navigate all of life's biggest feelings.



Do You Need a Song? is the joint project of childhood friends Everett and Kendall, who reconnected after two decades to create the book. Originally written as a song to help the author's son fall asleep, each rhyming, love-filled stanza of Do You Need a Song? invites the reader into a new feeling. Kids will enjoy the colors and animal metaphors associated with each feeling, and there is even a hidden music note on each page to find. Whether read, or sung, Do You Need a Song? is a beautiful book kids and adults will enjoy.



Do You Need a Song? includes:

Praise for Do You Need a Song?

"We all need a song sometimes and this lyrical, beautifully illustrated book might just be the song your child (or even you) needs to hear today."

"As children ask to hear this book over and over, and they surely will, they receive a significant gift: a reassuring message of unconditional love. A gift they may carry and share as they go out into the world."
