A picture book version of the song "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof. The illustrations are vibrant and depict turn-of-the century Jewish families as the children grow up, marry, and start a family of their own.
The iconic song accompanied by stunning illustrations. If you're a fan of the move (Fiddler on the Roof) the lyrics are somewhat different than what you'll be familiar with, but it doesn't detract (too much) from the loveliness). Bonus points for having the sheet music at the end!
I was so happy to see a book to one of my favorite Fiddler on the Roof songs. This is a great way to introduce Jewish culture while introducing music and lyrical writing. I would love to place the song for students and have them look at the book along with the song.
