On Wintersongs, John McCutcheon celebrates the rituals of winter which mark the memory of every child (and adult), reminding us of experiences at once both personal and universal, from a child's eager anticipation of the first snowfall to memories of the last thaw of winter. John celebrates the things which bring comfort in the cold (such as soup and hot chocolate) and excitement in the short days (skating) and long nights (watching the northern lights), but he also doesn't shy away from the restless discomfort of having the flu. He even sympathizes with the child who wants to hibernate all winter long, sleeping through the bitter cold. John sings us through the season, leaving us in anticipation of spring. 1995 Notable Children's Recording: American Library Association 1996 Gold Award Winner: NAPPA (National Parenting Publication Awards) 1996 Indie Award: NAIRD (National Association of Independent Record Distributors) 1996 Parents' Choice Honor: Parents' Choice Magazine 1997 Grammy Nominee: Best Musical Album for Children CS ISBN Number: 1-886767-07-6 CD ISBN Number: 1-886767-06-8
