How Sweet the Sound


The kids in First Grade will be singing today from "How Sweet the Sound: African-American Songs for Children" (Scholastic). Wade and Cheryl Hudson's "How Sweet the Sound," with atmospheric illustrations by Floyd Cooper, showcases lyrics from gospels and songs that spotlight key periods in African American history, from "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" to James Brown's "Say it Loud, I'm Black and I'm Proud").

Not only did we sing the songs, but I downloaded many of the songs so that we could listen to them!
