The book and CD are truely beautiful. Each song is presented with a creative illustration along with the words and the musical score. I have purchased two as presents for the upcomming births of two grandchildren. Not only are the books beautiful in themselves, the purchase also supports a worthwhile charitable effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly Skies and Lullabies is heavenly!, October 7, 2006

This review is from: Heavenly Skies and Lullabies: Illustrated Songbook & CD (Hardcover)

I purchased this songbook and cd because I feel strongly that we must help the children affected by Katrina. The illustrations in the songbook are beautiful, as is Kathleen's voice. I bought two books- one for my children, and one to donate to my daughter's daycare center, The Seed, in Yorktown Heights, NY. The children at The Seed Daycare enjoy listening to the cd daily at naptime, and my daughter, Grace, requests this cd often at home. My older daughter, Claire, enjoys trying to play the sheet music on her harp and cello.

A must have for expecting and new parents. The power of these lullabies is enchanting for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars inspirational and angelic children's book that will make your heart a-glow, April 13, 2007

This review is from: Heavenly Skies and Lullabies: Illustrated Songbook & CD (Hardcover)

To all parents who want to read a most inspiring children's book and listen, and have their children listen, to a CD that sounds like an angel is singing, this is the book and CD set for you. Dr. Kathy Reilly Fallon has designed a book that brings beautiful and touching quotes to life. Quotes like the following "May you always walk in sunshine. May you never want for more. May angels rest their wings right beside your door." Reading this quote (and all the others) helps me to aspire, and my children to aspire, to a higher place where there is pure love, honor, and mutual respect. In addition, Becky Kelly's illustrations in the book are the most heartwarming and gorgeous drawings I have ever seen in a children's book. Bravo to all who have contributed their heart and soul to this book. It is a definite Read! Plus, you are helping a wonderful cause by doing so!
