Description

Award-winning creator and illustrator Ashley Bryan has selected twenty best-known and best-loved African-American spirituals, including the title song, “All Night, All Day,” and such others as “This Little Light of Mine,” “O When the Saints Go Marching In,” and “He is Got the Whole World in His Hands.”
Glorious full-color pictures, piano accompaniment, and guitar chords assist capture the spirit and essence of these timeless songs that may be enjoyed by people of all ages and each level of musical skill.
Unique to the world of music and admired for their richly emotional content, African-American spirituals receive the celebration they deserve on this number of songs for young children. Old favorites such as “O When the Saints Go Marching In” and “He is Got the Whole World in His Hands” are coupled with lesser-known titles such as the collection’s namesake, “All Night, All Day.” The entire songs are stirring and inspirational when sung by young children. They come with guitar and piano accompaniments, in addition to warmly hued, free-flowing illustrations of natural forms–waves, leaves, flower petals, stars–that suggest a feeling of radiance and hope. All Night, All Day won the Coretta Scott King Award for 1992.
