American Heroes #3

Spring 2009 Music

Ages: 5 - 12 yrs.

Producer: Sprout Recordings

CD Price: $13.98

Review:

Musician Jonathan Sprout collaborates with Dave Kinnoin for this production of several brief musical biographies of outstanding Americans: Milton Hershey (a visionary chocolate king and philanthropist), John Muir (an influential conservationist), Elizabeth Blackwell (American's first female doctor), Jonas Salk (developer of the polio vaccine), Jane Addams (a Nobel Peace Prize winner), George Washington Carver (the "peanut man"), Wilma Rudolph (a handicapped Olympic gold medalist), Thomas Jefferson (America's third president), Pocahontas (peacemaker), and others.

Sprout's ingenious word architecture and Kinnoin's spirited musical background together bolster the message, "You, too, can be an American hero!" Children may subsequently redefine "hero" through these inspirational songs that illustrate heroism in the real world (in contrast to ubiquitous television fiction and movies). This collection of powerful lyrics encourages youngsters to follow their own dreams and gives them motivation to embattle any obstacles blocking their personal goals.

Flora has been described as a “founder” in the world of storytelling. The following are a few examples of programs or events that she began: (1) Storytelling World, an international journal for which Flora has continued to serve as editor since its first issue in the 1980s. This journal is currently part of NSN’s Storytelling Magazine. (2) The Annual Storytelling Resource Awards Program, (3) The National Storytelling Youth Olympics, and (4) The Master’s Degree Program in Storytelling at ETSU (where she taught for 41 years and is currently a Professor Emeritus). She has won many prestigious awards, including NSN’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
