Sing Books with Emily, the Blog

The Watsons are a large family who have for many years loaded children’s shelves with wonderful picture books and many of the SINGABLE!

Nancy Dingman Watson and Aldren A. Watson are the parents of Clyde Watson and Wendy Watson, and they have each made significant contributions to the world of Children’s Picture Books.
