“[I Will Be Your Friend] is the most wonderful teaching tool I have ever seen. It gives students and teachers an opportunity to actively
engage in activities that will build character and tolerance.”

A Teaching Kit for Elementary Grades

This groundbreaking musical
anthology teaches activism from

  • 26-song CD;
  • Classroom activities built around five themes;
  • Melody and chord notation, guitar fingering and
  • complete lyrics;
  • Biographies of songwriters, performers and song
