(3) K-3 Illustrated by Michael Hays. In this "storysong," a ukelele-strumming boy and his magician father are banished: their passions annoy the townspeople. But after each uses his talent to smite the giant Abiyoyo, they earn some respect. The mural-like illustrations reinforce the story's worthy enthusiasms: music, magic, and the idea that every voice matters. A CD featuring Seeger performing the titular song is included.
