“Over the Rainbow” Author: E.Y. Harburg, Illustrator: Eric Puybaret, Performer:
Judy Collins, Composer: Harold Arlen

 

This book is just lovely!  The opening verse of the song is one that most haven’t heard before and it makes the song that we all know and love even more special.  Judy Collins goes on to sing  and “I See the Moon” and “White Choral Bells”.
I plan on having my choir sing “Over the Rainbow” this spring and look forward to sharing this book with them as part of their introduction to the song.
