- Synopsis
- HUSH LITTLE BABY is a folk lullaby that was first sung to put children to sleep in England. With its warmth and humor, it became a favorite among folk singers of the Appalachian Mountain region, and now it is well known in many other parts of our country, where it has been perennially popular with singers and listeners. There are many versions of this lullaby. This is one of them. In this version of the popular lullaby, a winsome little boy is portrayed in a gently humorous way. He wavers between delight and disappointment over the many gifts he is promised. Colorfully painted on wood, Aliki's illustrations are set against the 18th century backgrounds of the song's origin.
