Editorial Reviews

This CD realizes a longtime dream of blind composer-pianist Terrance Tom, a lawyer and one-time legislator, who does, with this simple but resourceful CD, a lot more for youth than he possibly could as a politico or attorney. His music comes from the heart and it's this excursion into his soul that bares his "vision," if you will, of what it feels like to be a child, full of hope and innocence, of joy and aspirations, of promise and potential.

The Keiki Kani Choir (Shayna Lum is the soloist) embraces the title song with a splendid vocal, and Alison Chu factors in "Year of the Family," which involves the 1991 state legislators, too. But the sweet, fragile, expressions without words — tracks such as "To Paint a Dream," "A Child's Lullaby," "In My Room" and "Happiness" — speak volumes about the destiny of children.
