Many of you have requested this 1992 collection of songs designed to offer comfort, build self-esteem, nourish and heal the spirit -- for adults as well as children. She includes some wonderful songs like Libby Roderick's How Could Anyone, Cris Williamson's Lullaby, and more. Unfortunately, one of the finest songs on the album, Fred Small's Everything Possible, was abridged by Shaina to omit the lesbian/gay references, which was one of the points of the song in the first place and which radically alters the meaning and intent. If you buy this for a child, perhaps you could discuss with them the 'unsung lyrics' in Everything Possible, and homophobia in general (which was at work here, in our opinion, albeit unconsciously) -- make it an educational tool. We hope she'll re-record this in the future with all the lyrics intact. With the exception of this one shortcoming, the album is soothing and inspirational.
