A Child's Gift of Lullabies
Sing, cuddle, and bond with A Child's Gift of Lullabies!
The benefits of lullabies are backed with years of research.
Study after study has proven the benefits of lullabies for children. Parents and children bond, anxieties soothe, and everyone gets much needed sleep! That's why we're thrilled to turn the world's most beloved lullaby album into a book for the very first time. The enchanting melodies and rich illustrations will create night after night of magical bedtime bonding.
Beautiful inside and out.
We've carefully crafted every detail of this book. The cover is squishy and padded with a smooth, matte finish and gold foil details that shimmer in the light. We also used thick, sturdy board to make sure the book's pages hold up to years of being held and turned by little hands.
These aren't your ordinary lullabies!
J. Aaron Brown's famous lullabies have sold over 4.5 million recordings, were nominated for a Grammy award, and have been the #1 gift at baby showers for years. They're his original compositions, with songs like "Wings," "Tomorrow We'll Go to the Fair," and "Someday Baby." And now, for the first time ever, Bushel & Peck Books is matching these songs with a gorgeous board book with a built-in sound panel.
Our book is based on this classic, bestselling lullaby album.
Gorgeous illustrations.
Sara Ugolotti, a talented illustrator from Italy, is providing the gorgeous illustrations for this book. Her magical illustrations breathe life into each song with dreamy scenes rendered in splashes of beautiful colors. Each page contains the lyrics of one of the songs so you and your little one can learn the words and eventually sing along!

This book pays it forward
Our Book-for-Book Promise:
We believe in giving back. That's why for every book we sell, we donate one to a child in need—book for book. Why? Because 14% of the world is still illiterate, and in low-income neighborhoods, there's just 1 book for every 300 kids. By giving back, we can change the future for millions of kids. Our goal is to donate 1,000,000 books by 2028. See how we give >
About the Creators
J. Aaron Brown
J. Aaron Brown dreamed of creating music that parents could share with their little ones. Writing and recording songs that would provide sweet dreams and hopes of bright tomorrows, creating music and melodies that would stand the test of time and would be passed on to future generations. In pursuit of that dream, Brown and his partner, David R. Lehman, recorded A Child's Gift of Lullabyes, a collection of original lullabies with lush orchestral arrangements. Next, they staked everything on releasing and distributing it themselves. Beginning with a single specialty store in Nashville, Tennessee, and even giving away cassettes and CDs to thousands of new mothers, they relied on "word of mommy" to spread their musical message. Their marketing strategy worked beyond their wildest dreams. A Child's Gift of Lullabyes quickly earned acclaim, winning a Grammy® Award nomination and designation as a Notable Children's Recording from the American Library Association. Families everywhere have made this music a cherished part of nap time, playtime and bedtime. Brown and Lehman have produced five more collections of love songs and lullabies, and A Child’s Gift of Lullabyes recordings are available in fine gift shops, toy and department stores, mail-order catalogs and web sites. Today, J. Aaron Brown's dream has become a global reality.
