Sounds like a very successful children's recording

"This album doesn't really give the full right to Shenandoah's enticing voice and the beauty of the harmonics, though it is fun to listen to."
Wonderful story & music - just wish she hadn't used "stupid"

"WE LOVE THIS CD. The story is beatifully told the music is eclectic, with a dash of blues, easy listening, country and just plain FUN. I highly recommend with one caveat ~ she uses the word stupid in the lyrics in the first song. Maybe it's just our family, but I cringe every time she bellows out "I'm just a stupid girl..." I usually lower the volume on that part. I have little ones and it's exactly the kind of terminology they'd pick up. That's the only reason I didn't give a whole-hearted five star rating. Other than that the CD is terrific. Everyone who gets in my car (great entertainment while driving to school) loves it. It's GREAT!"
Wonderful!

"As a Seneca mother, I really enjoyed this cd with traditional songs intermixed with Shanendoah's telling of how she "found" her voice. This cd is refreshing with Iroquois ideas represented easily so that even my three year old daughter recognized them -- her eyes lit up when she heard Grandma Moon singing! (I alway KNEW she could sing pretty," my daughter exclaimed.)
I recommend this cd."
My 4 year old loves this!

"My four and a half year old daughter loves this cd, we both do, really. Ms. Shenandoah's voice carries itself into your heart and holds itself there. The songs are haunting and uplifting at the same time. The narration is compelling and interesting. I can't wait to explore more of her work. This is a must-have cd, especially for children."
