Overview

An illustrated song book infused with meaning and faith

Bestselling composer Marty Haugen's Child of Wonder, written for the baptism of his godson, celebrates the sacredness of human life and childhood. Now in this wonderful book, artist Stephen Nesser illuminates the lyrics with scenes of childhood rituals from faith traditions and cultures around the world, who play together to form community. These vibrant illustrations are a perfect complement to Marty's inspired poetry. Included with the volume is a link to a free mp3 download of the song, as well as the full notation of Child of Wonder for families that wish to sing along.
