Third grade was arguably my favorite of the elementary school years. I adored my teacher, my desk was right across from my huge crush, and music became a big part of my life through learning violin and being introduced to the song, “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.” Never was the collective power of music more evident than when our class got to rock out to this classic during music time.

Now you can celebrate this song and teach your kids about green living with Barefoot Books’ Whole World book + CD. This large format hardcover includes lyrics, colorful illustrations, music notation and chord charts for those who wish to play along, and tips for eco living. A mini edition of the book will be available in June, and a portion of the proceeds will benefit global conservation charities.
