Sunny Day: A Celebration of the Sesame Street Theme… by Various

So I have to admit, it's been a long time since I have heard the Sesame Street theme song. So it didn't flow off my tongue as readily as I liked. But what did I love: ALL of the different illustrators who brought their unique stamp to the project. Christian Robinson, Tom Lichtenheld, Dan Santat, Greg Pizzoli.....the list goes on and on.

It definitely is an excellent tool to show that Sesame Street crossed ages, genders, and demographics

Sunny Day: A Celebration of the Sesame Street Theme… by Joe Raposo

Each illustration is done by a different artist. All their bios are in the back. 🌞😎

The Sesame Street song book by Joseph G. Raposo

A collection of 36 songs from the first 2 seasons of Sesame Street. Classics include "Bein' Green", "Goin' for a Ride", "I Love Trash", "Rubber Duckie" and "The People in your Neighborhood". The songs are arranged with a simple piano accompaniment for parents to enjoy with young children. A great trip down Memory Lane for those who watched the show in childhood.
