Lilly’s Chocolate Heart
By: Kevin Henkes
Why make music a part of your day? Your child loves to hear the sound of your voice, whether you’re a
talented singer or not, and sharing songs and rhymes from your own childhood is a great way to be silly and
playful! If you’re a little fuzzy on the words or the tune, check out a CD from the library, search for the song
online, or just make it up as you go along. Singing together is a way to communicate, calm your child when
she’s upset, build vocabulary, introduce new ideas and so much more!
