I grew up in a household of readers. We were required to read each day as children – especially during the summer. Those frequent trips to the library have resulted in a lifetime of reading. During my sessions, I love to share singable books. This post is the first in a series.
Today’s books give a nod to the many US patriotic holidays that happen during the summer months. Published by Picture Window Books and illustrated by Todd Ouren, I have used these resources with a variety of younger children. The songs include:
- America the Beautiful
- America
- The Star Spangled Banner
- When Johnny Comes Marching Home
- Yankee Doodle
- You’re a Grand Old Flag
Watch this to learn more about the books.
Be watching for future singable books. In the mean time here are a few others:
- I’ll Love You for Always (musicsparks.wordpress.com)
- Looking for Musical Books (musicsparks.wordpress.com)
JoAnn!!! I am the author/illustrator of a “sing-able” patriotic picture book. Seriously.
My newest picture book, “Red, White and Blue” is based on the lyrics of a song I wrote by that title. The book comes with its own CD recording in the back. I also include a chart of sign language to support the text.
Found your blog, through your comment left on another’s blog.

Your work sounds fascinating.
Thank you for sharing. Learning about more resources is a joy! I’ll try to watch for it in my travels.
