Synopsis

Illustrator Christopher Canyon brilliantly adapts John Denver's famous song for children of all ages. By car by station wagon and by motorcycle a family goes up down and around the hills of West Virginia heading for a family reunion at Grandma and Grandpa's country home! It's all about country it's all about music and it's all about family. TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS is the song that catapulted John Denver to stardom - and it remains one of the top country classics of all time. It all started with a drive through beautiful countryside to a family reunion and became John's first big hit. Ages 2 and up.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

John Denver's love for nature, his hope and belief in the future, and his brilliance of expression inspired so many people toward "higher ground." Although he died in 1997, we are pleased to bring his timeless lyrics to the next generation. As he wrote in one of his songs:

Celebrate living,
The laughter that sings in heart of a child,
The freedom that flies at the call of the wild,
Celebrate living.

Christopher Canyon shares some thoughts on the project: "To have this opportunity to share John Denver's music and message with the children of today is truly a dream. John gave the world so many thoughtful songs about relationships; our global need to live together in peace and the importance of caring for our environment. These messages, as relevant today as ever, and John's music and voice continue to touch our lives and lift our spirits."
