Infos

The San Francisco-based artist celebrates American roots music with this volume of thirteen beautifully illustrated folk songs. Our love affair with folk songs runs as deep as the enduring power of music, nature, creativity, and the longings of the human heart. In The Littlest Birds Sing the Prettiest Songs, artist Jennie Smith celebrates the tradition with her illustrated renderings of thirteen soulful songs, including time-honored Scottish ballads, classics by the likes of the Carter Family, contemporary favorites by Gillian Welch, and more. Smith’s art—hopeful, sincere, and delicate—adds a delightfully unexpected dimension to a familiar genre. With a foreword from contemporary folk legend Michael Hurley, complete lyrics, and playable tablature or sheet music for each song, this is a unique collection for the whole family to treasure.
