This delightfully whimsical story about the friendly Stranowsky family centers on the song they warble at mealtime, bedtime, and, well, anytime. The song reminds them that God is always with us, especially in life’s unpredictable moments. The family’s awareness of God’s presence opens them to welcome a variety of characters to their table. But when things go haywire one afternoon, The Family Song carries them through on God’s love. Includes a CD of the book read by the author and a performance of “The Family Song.” For ages 4-to-8.
"This book was unique in that it not only included a good mealtime song but it also was a story. Besides, simply the words family and song in one title are sure to grab my attention because those are and have been vital themes in my life. Mealtime is the one moment in the day when eight adults and eight children, ages 11 years to 11 months, are focused on one thing--food. I've learned that what I want to teach I need to do quickly and it needs to be catchy. The Family Song really did it this year."
