Description:

"Now Go With My Love" was composed and written in the early spring of 2007 for my son. A few people suggested it be illustrated and then published as a combination book/cd.

I felt daunted to receive this encouragement until a student of mine volunteered her 15 year old cousin as an illustrator. Within two weeks of hearing the song and speaking to me just once over the phone, this extraordinary young talent named Olivia Quan sent what you now see...an inspired touchingly innocent rendition of the song in picture form.

Recorded at Woodshop Studio by Zak Cohen, the song was enhanced by the musical artistry of my dear friend Lena Birtwistle.

To Complete this project in the spirit of family, my sister Madeleine Wood illustrated the front and back covers sketching from photographs. Our hands were my son's idea and hers was blowing him a kiss! My gratitude has taken more then a year to express itself and I trust the message is clear...see? It's all about love and here it goes!
