Details:
Michael Sternâs most recent CD, âWe All Have Wingsâ is an engaging collection of songs designed to help children have courage to be creative & compassionate. The opening song, âColoring Outside the Linesâ (written by the late Tom Hunter) welcomes artistic creativity when we color or dance outside the lines, & makes reference to civil rights leader Rosa Parks sitting outside the lines. âDonât Laugh at Meâ reminds us not to tease or bully someone just because they are different.

In a series of bright new originals, Stern encourages kids to recycle, to work out conflicts, & to âplant seedsâ in a variety of ways. He celebrates children learning to be friends while speaking different languages, knowing different faiths, and having different colors of skin. Featuring a multi-lingual chorus of kidsâ voices, âSchools, Écoles, Schule, Escuelas ...â takes us on a journey to schools all around the world. âMy Brother Thinks He is a Chickenâ combines laugh-out-loud humor while honoring the âfowlâ quirks we sometimes find within ourselves & our families.

This well-paced collection is woven with themes of kindness & cooperation, & supported by an array of voices, instruments & energy that blend equal parts of fun & inspiration. Stern has devoted the same thoughtful lyrical presentation & outstanding musicianship to his childrenâs CD as he has to each of his earlier recordings for adults. It features Grammy nominee David Lanz on keyboards, renown Seattle folk artists Greg Canote on fiddle, Doug Bright on accordion, Eric Smith on mandolin & dobro, & Michael Sternâs vocals, banjo, guitar, plus a few very sweet vocal choruses by kids. This CD is appealing to all ages of children, & to all ages of adults.
