PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- A new book with audio CD by Carey Landry and Carol Jean Kinghorn-Landry is designed to bring music to life and get children moving. Now available from OCP, Hi God Gesture Book, Volume 2 clearly presents signs and gestures with photographs and detailed explanations--for familiar songs aimed at getting children excited about their faith.
"In the past few years, many people have asked us to prepare a second volume of gestures since they enjoyed the original Hi God Gesture Book and have found it so useful," said Landry. "We are so grateful for this response."
The audio CD included with the book offers engaging and fun songs like "I Know That God Loves Me" and "Peter and James and John" and quietly prayerful songs like "At the Center of My Heart," "I Believe in the Sun' and "Sing a Simple Song." The gestures, signs, mime and motions flow freely from the music and reflect not only the words but the piece's entire mood.
"In Hi God Gestures, Volume 2, we concentrated on our newer songs (from Hi God 4, 5 and 6)," said Kinghorn-Landry. "Our goal was to enable students to express themselves more fully by using their hands and feet as well as their voices. We hope the gestures we have created for the second volume will add a new dimension and sense of participation and joy as they sing these 14 songs."
