The Secret Mountain recently launched the "Classic Folk Sing-Along Songs" Musical Picture Book series, each with a link to streaming musical performances by Montréal based acoustic duo Sin and Swoon.
The picture books are great - retro color illustrations by Sophie Casson that are richly colored and fun to look at. They pair well with the text of classic folk songs Pop Goes the Weasel, She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain, and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. They're fun books for parents to share the classic songs with their kids.
Available from iTunes, Amazon and booksellers around North America in November
About the singers: Sin and Swoon is a folk-roots band made up of Ottawa Valley native Michael James O’Brien and Antigonish, Nova Scotia’s Michelle Tompkins. They have backed-up several popular Montréal acts, notably Patrick Watson, The Barr Brothers, Plants and Animals, and Thus Owls.
About the illustrator: Sophie Casson studied graphic design at the Université du Québec à Montréal. She was a finalist for the 2011 Governor General’s Award and has won many awards both in Canada and the United States.
