Rhythms of Childhood

Ella Jenkins' 1963 album Rhythms of Childhood focuses on themes of nature. After observing Girl Scout troops at the Maine Folk Dance Camp, Ella noticed what children reacted to in the natural world and incorporated those subjects into the album: the rhythm of bird calls, the movement of the trees, and the way streams ripple. The album contains original compositions, including "Wake Up, Little Sparrow" and "Pretty Trees Around the World.” Listeners of all ages can enjoy this record, which provides opportunities for practicing harmonies and keeping time. Recommended for ages 2–9.
