"Shine" Early Childhood Music CD

Lively song collection produced by Annie Patterson, recorded by Jim Henry. This 30-track CD includes a wide variety of simple but moving songs with themes of peace, multicultural diversity, faith, joy, and gratitude. Annie sings on all but 2 of the songs. Songs include a variety of voices and instrumental accompaniment including banjo, guitar, mandolin, doumbek, cajon, cello, and fiddle.

The CD was commissioned by the Shine early childhood curriculum program of the Mennonite & Brethren Churches. (Many but by no means all of the songs have a strong biblical/Christian content.)
