One grain of sand, One grain of sand in all the world, One grain of sand, One little boy, one little girl. In 1956, renowned folk singer Pete Seeger found himself making up this song for his baby daughter as he put her to sleep, adding new phrases along the way. His gentle, rhythmic text is now accompanied by rich, luminous illustrations, making this the perfect bedtime book. Artist Linda Wingerter is not the first person in her family to do illustrations for Pete Seeger: Years ago, her grandparents used to design & create posters for his performances at their local library in West Orange, NJ.
