Thereza Lituma - Weave Little Stars into My Sleep: Native American Lullabies

Weave Little Stars into My Sleep: Native American Lullabies selected by Neil Philip


This is a wonderful book that contains different Native American lullabies from different tribes. The songs each have different themes about nature, animals, and also the love of family. There are also pictures of some children and toys they play with. This is a great tool for young children, so even if they personally don’t know any Native Americans when they are growing up, they can learn to respect the cultures of others and perhaps even relate what they learn to their own love of family and traditions. As a music teacher, this would then allow me to introduce music of other cultures and how meanings and the music differs from one Native tribe to another.
