Description:

To grandmother’s house we go! Take a lively ride through the white and drifted snow with this festive holiday folk song, part of a series of captivating picture books based on beloved songtales from the great American folk tradition.

Children will be swept up in the snowy fun as they sing along to this classic tune. Beautifully brought to life with Kian Sylvester’s vibrant illustrations of Civil War soldiers reuniting with their families for a Thanksgiving celebration, this retelling showcases America’s rich diversity and captures the joy of coming together.

Like the other folk song picture books in the series, Over the River and Through the Woods includes the song’s history, notation, and a link to a free MP3 download of the song.

Another winner collected by John M. Feierabend!

John M. Feierabend, PhD, has spent decades compiling songs and rhymes from the memories of the American people in hopes that these treasures will be preserved for future generations. He is a leading authority on child development in music and movement and served as Professor and Chair of the Music Education Department of the Hartt School of the University of Hartford.

Kian Sylvester is an illustrator from Plymouth, Massachusetts.
