"Adults and children all loved your happy, upbeat performance, saying, 'When will she be back?!'"

-- Linda Herschenfeld, Children's Librarian, Port Jefferson, New York

"Thank you again for the two wonderful shows you did here at the Foster City Library! Your "Planting the Seeds of Love" program was a huge hit with our toddler crowd! The show included the perfect mixture of music and movement. Parents and caregivers were thrilled with your ability to capture and keep the attention of a room full of 1-3 year olds. The evening performance of "Music is Magic was equally successful", with kids dancing and singing along. Parents were delighted with the show and your unique ability to involve the audience (children and parents alike). I am looking forward to having you perform at the Foster City Library again!

-- Amy Hroziencik,Youth Services Librarian, Foster City Library, Foster City, CA

When surrounded by music they actually begin reacting and trying to make music with you! Learn how to recognize and encourage that playful exchange. Begin planting seeds of love and music in your baby's life in this informative and loving workshop facilitated by Pam Donkin. Bring a blanket to sit or lay baby down on.
