Abstract

The Christian children's songs contained in this book have been collected from the Bretheren in Christ community of Sikalongo, Zambia. Sikalongo, a small village in southern Zambia, was home to one of the first Bretheren in Christ missions in the country. The lyrics of these songs were collected by the community's nursery school teacher, Pauline Muleya, in 2005. Her singing was recorded that same year by Erin Black, under the supervision of Dr. Dwight Thomas; the songs were later transcribed by Erin and other members of the music department of Messiah College.
