The little robin, tucking his head under his wing, connects us with the cold of winter, whatever the time of year. Lullaby your baby or toddler against your shoulder as you rock yourself in time to the song. Soothe away any distress or colicky discomfort with your hand smoothing baby's back or patting it gently.
This is one of the many lovely lullaby melodies we included in Playsongs Grand Sleepover. Find it here.
It's performed by Janet Russell and Sandra Kerr.
