This collection of classic children's poetry, adapted to music by Natalie Merchant, opens the door to a wondrous world filled with witches and fearless girls, blind men and elephants, giants and sailors and dancing bears. Leave Your Sleep features a daring and delightful selection, ranging from the beloved (e.e. cummings, Edward Lear, and Jack Prelutsky) to the undiscovered (the young Nathalia Crane). Natalie Merchant's brilliant musical renderings, selected from her highly praised album, share the stage with Barbara McClintock's richly imagined art to create a memorable reading, looking, and listening experience.

Lovely songs, sweet pictures submitted by willow on July 25, 2016, 9:02am Natalie Merchant's songs in the enclosed album are quite soothing and pleasant, and Barbara McClintock's illustrations are charming. They can be enjoyed separately or together.
