Maria and Friends - Planting Seeds CD Review

If you are looking for a unique baby shower gift idea, Maria Sangiolo's folksy albums for kids merge upbeat tunes with thoughtful lyrics. Planting Seeds ($15), the singer's latest album for children, celebrates local agriculture and sustainability. The CD opens with "Dancin' the Breeze," a great song to play to a child at the start of the day with lyrics that talk about vegetables in a summer garden.

We are also big fans of the artist's Under the Mystic Sea CD which provides fun background tunes featuring undersea creatures for when your child is splashing around in the bath. Maria Sangiolo has a beautiful voice and her music is a wonderful addition to a young child's life.
