Holiday Gift Guide: Over the Moon- The Broadway Lullaby Project

I’ve always loved musicals. Sound of Music, West Side Story, Wicked- you name it, I love it. That’s why I’m so excited about Over the Moon: The Broadway Lullaby Project.

Over the Moon is a project that is really a multimedia experience. The project includes a 2-CD set that includes 26 songs, an illustrated hardcover book that features 17 of those 26 songs, an e-book that includes all of the songs, and a documentary film & web series. It features many of today’s most loved composers & vocalists {and some amazing illustrators}, all of whom have donated their talent to a set of new lullabies, including some written just for this project.

The project raises funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Young Survival Coalition, which alone makes it worth the purchase to me. Even better, the music is beautiful & very well done, and the book is gorgeous to look at.
