Sara Hickman's "Big Bird, Little Bird" DVD (review)

I'd like to share with you about "Big Bird, Little Bird" for a minute. This DVD will be released on June 15th and I think it's a wonderful gift idea for a new or expecting mommy.  

This DVD has little animated videos that accompany the beautiful songs written and performed by Sara Hickman. And while it's not something I sit down and watch from beginning to end with Eliana, it is something I turn on to have playing in the background while we play or cuddle. 

What cracks me up is that whenever the song "A Slice of Heaven" comes on, Eliana starts jumping up and down and grinning from ear to ear. Something about the tune and rhythm of the song just agrees with her and it is just adorable to see. 

Also, there are parenting tips offered by Sara Hickman on the DVD for new parents to view. I watched her offer her tips and I loved how honestly she spoke about her experiences. I may not agree with every tip I saw but I'm a different person with different experiences. Overall, I think it's a great bit of information that could be helpful for any new mom. 

Here is the info from the press release:

"Send your little ones off to dreamland with visions of flowers, clouds and butterflies dancing to the delightful vocals of renowned singer-songwriter Sara Hickman in Big Bird, Little Bird, a beautifully animated program coming to DVD June 15, 2010.

Big Bird, Little Bird, based upon Hickman’s award-winning CD Newborn, – features 13 of Hickman’s soothing songs for children ages newborn to five.  The DVD is brought to life through bright, colorful computer animation (one by Hickman herself) that engages young viewers and creates a calming bonding experience between parent and child that can be shared and enjoyed again and again.

Whether learning about the goop lingering in the corner of your eye, the family tree or a dispute between two birds over a crumb of bread, Big Bird, Little Bird DVD is a sweet union of visual, lyrical and musical art and a stunning treasure to be added to any wee one’s DVD library. "
