In the land of BLUE CLOUDS, anything can happen. The clear and beautiful voice of children's music favorite Elizabeth Mitchell weaves musical landscapes that seem like a patchwork of memories we've always shared, writes Caldecott Award winning author Brian Selznick. The dreamlike illustrations of legendary artist Remy Charlip illuminate the magical narratives of these timeless songs. Mitchell's extended family band, You Are My Flower, including daughter Storey and husband Daniel Littleton, embrace US with sound in a celebration of family, imagination and love. 16 tracks, 39 minutes.

Once in a great while we encounter an artist who stands consciously and directly in the tradition of children's music that Folkways has carried for nearly 60 years, and Elizabeth Mitchell is one such artist. Her lovely voice brings a fresh sound to cherished American folk songs and other melodies from around the world. In a peaceful yet powerful way, she reintroduces US to the songs we thought we knew so well. Featuring homespun renditions of songs by Woody Guthrie, Bob Marley, the Velvet Underground, Vashti Bunyan, Gillian Welch and more! 28-page booklet, 17 tracks, 35 minutes.
