How the Songs series works

• Two pages per song. Left page: the lyrics plus a short story about what the song means — one simple idea to talk about together. Right page: simplified sheet music, engraved large and clear.
• Truly first songs. Level 1 starts with five-finger melodies and big noteheads. No prior music reading needed — grown-ups learn alongside.
• Colorable illustrations. Every song has a picture to color while the melody settles in.
• It grows with them — collect the series. Each level adds longer songs and richer music, all the way to the ceremony. The complete five-level series is the real gift; individual levels are the low-priced way to start.

Good to know

• Where do the songs come from? Only public-domain sources — every melody and every text is verified before it goes into a book. Nothing copyrighted, ever.
• Do we need a piano? Any keyboard works — even a small one. The songs are written for little hands, not concert halls.
• What if my child can't read music yet? That's exactly who Level 1 is for. Big notes, finger numbers, and a grown-up on the bench beside them.
• Is My Faith Journey tied to a denomination? No — it's written for all Christian families. The hymns are the beloved classics every tradition shares.
• Does the Bat Mitzvah Songs book match the coloring-book series? It's a companion to My Bat Mitzvah Journey — same journey, now with music. A lovely pair for a birthday or holiday gift.
