Description
“Music Is in Everything”—a single on More Family Time, the follow-up children’s album to the GRAMMY Award–winning Family Time—celebrates how music is found in everything. From ocean waves to banging pots and pans in the kitchen, from a loved one’s laughter to the “river’s latest tune,” Marley reminds children everywhere that you don’t need an instrument to create a beautiful song.
With heartfelt illustrations by Ag Jatkowska—illustrator of Marley’s debut picture book, I Love You Too—Music Is in Everything is a sweet and uplifting ode to the power and beauty of song.
*A coproduction of Akashic Books and Tuff Gong Worldwide
