The Babysitter Sings is about a girl who is trying to calm the child she is watching.  The babysitter sings traditional lullabies and recites nursery rhymes from Africa, the Caribbean, and Spain to reassure him that his parents will return.  The illustrations are very detailed and depict the text vividly. (Trade Book)
