It’s nice to have a little song to sing, just waiting in your pocket or the back of your brain to keep you company or entertain a loved one. I made this notebook to have such songs at the ready for Sing Books with Emily visits, for whenever a little song seems like a great idea, or for whenever my brain feels a little fuzzy.
