Lyrics of 3 well known songs of faith accompanied by wildly colorful illustrations. This Little Light of Mine; Oh, When the Saints Go Marching In; He's Got the Whole World in His Hands. Author's note includes some history on these 'Negro Spirituals.' (

I wish besides Let it Shine, The Saints Go Marching In and The Whole World in His Hands, this book had other spirituals such as Swing Low Sweet Chariot and Five Hundred Miles. GREAT FOR A UNIT ON SINGING, MUSIC OR APPRECIATION OF ALL CULTURES.

A great example of primary colors, and bold art. Great images of for groups. (

This little light of mine,
I'm gonna let it shine.
Let it shine,
let it shine,

let it shine.

With a kaleidoscope of color and cut paper, Hans Christian Anderson Award nominee and two-time Coretta Scott King Award winner Ashley Bryan celebrates three favorite spirituals: "This Little Light of Mine," "Oh, When the Saints Go Marching In," and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands." The power of these beloved songs simply emanates through his joyous interpretations. Come, sing, and celebrate!
