Music Is in Everything

A picture book based on Ziggy Marley's popular song celebrating music's many forms, from the sounds of ocean waves to laughter in the family kitchen.

"Music Is in Everything"--a single on More Family Time, the follow-up children's album to the GRAMMY Award-winning Family Time--celebrates how music is found in everything. From ocean waves to banging pots and pans in the kitchen, from a loved one's laughter to the "river's latest tune, " Marley reminds children everywhere that you don't need an instrument to create a beautiful song. With heartfelt illustrations by Ag Jatkowska--illustrator of Marley's debut picture book, I Love You Too--Music Is in Everything is a sweet and uplifting ode to the power and beauty of song.
