"Hey Little Ant"

This song and picture book by Phillip and Hannah Hoose is an amusing and powerful dialogue between an ant and the child who wants to squish him. For information on this song and how to order it, see www.heylittleant.com.

"What the Children of Jowonio Know"

I wrote this poem for the 20th anniversary celebration of Jowonio School, which includes children of all  sizes, shapes, colors and abilities. To see the full text of this poem, go to www.jowonio.org

"Courage"

This powerful song by Bob Blue relates the story of a young
girl who notices that a classmate, Diane, is excluded from school
activities. The singer wrestles with what this exclusion means and how
it connects to the exclusion and mistreatment of others throughout
history. I perform this song often and there is always a strong
reaction. For information on how to order this song go to BobBlue.org .
