"I was about to enter the embryology exhibit at Boston's Museum of Science and Technology and read Shakespeare's words engraved in the entryway. Yes, I thought, these words belong at the gateway of life and birth. So does joy! When a child is born is the African rainforest, the Baka Pygmies sing "My heart is joyous!"
Blessed is the baby who finds himself welcomed into the world with wonder, love and joy!"

"How we interact with and surround our children's senses can positively affect their growing development. Sing a Song with baby provides for nourishment through song, touch and caring. Working gently with the young ones and more actively with the older children, you can use these songs and games to promote a loving, healing environment for both caregiver and child!"

"Mary had done it again! You listen to her wonderful songs and you want to pick up the nearest baby and start singing and playing! It's easy to imagine a child's delight and insistence that you sing to them again and again. What a wonderful way to surround a child with warmth, humor and joy. Well done, Mary. Please help us to keep on singing."
