Customer Reviews

Wonderful book!

I was introduced to this book in my musical education class and my classmate who presented it to the class did a really good job. It's a great book to read/sing to people of all ages to show that there is a light in all of us.

This little light...

This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine. This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine. Remember these words from the spiritual sung in many churches throughout the South? I recall singing it as a child and even as I grew older and I now teach it to my daughter. E.B. Lewis has taken the words to this familiar song and drawn beautifully accompanying watercolors. With colorful, feel-good type images, this book reminds one of being young, spreading joy, and letting your light shine...in everything you do. Children will enjoy actually listening to this book being read as well as singing the lyrics. Reviewed by Tee C. Royal of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers
