Letters To Raffi

From Salt Spring Island, BC ...

OK, I'll admit it, I'm a bit of a Raffi groupee. I have been listening to Raffi for 20 years. My children grew up listening to his thoughtful, gentle lyrics. We all sang his songs on road trips.

I taught them to the children I taught in preschool, daycare, kindergarten and primary classes.

I was given his Child Honouring book as a gift from a parent of a child I taught. It will make you laugh, and cry. I've heard him speak on many occasions. He has a very special, important message for all of us. It's time to wake up and put child honouring first.
