Earth Song cover

A brand new Barefoot Singalong about the earth's orbit!

The earth circles round the sun each year.
Past days, weeks, and months, our birthdays we cheer,
growing taller, faster, smarter, wiser.
The earth circles round the sun each year.


What creates the seasons? How does day turn to night? Learn how the sun and moon create earth's seasonal and daily cycles in this uplifting, musical exploration of the beautiful planet we call home. Written and sung by Susan Reed (Over in the Meadow and Up, Up, Up) and illustrated by Mariona Cabassa (Whatever Comes Tomorrow, Barefoot Books Water, and A Gift for Amma), the calming music and vibrant illustrations help children understand our place in the universe.
