Barbara,

    Yes, this song was written by Pete Seeger for his grandson, Tao. It can be found on the album, "The Songs of Pete Seeger", Volume 2. The name of the song is "You'll Sing to Me Too". On this album it is sung by a brother and sister duo from Nicaragua, Salvador Cardenal and Katia Cardenal, who were also known as the Duo Guadabarranco in the 1990's. They were also the ones who translated this song into Spanish.

    'Wonderful song, isn't it? I've been practicing it all weekend to share it with the children in our little Montessori school. Thank you for the lyrics. They're not on the CD jacket.

                        Sincerely,

                        Linda
