by 172 Comments

Ziggy Marley is bringing music to the LITTLE people! He is releasing his first children’s album and has invited some family and pretty cool friends to join him on it. Jack Johnson, Laurie Berkner, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Jamie Lee Curtis are only a few of the artists featured on the CD Family Time, in stores May 5th. In addition to some well known classics like “This Train” and “Hold Him Joe” Ziggy has written many original songs on this release which are endearing tributes to his family with many sage words of wisdom for kids.



ZIGGY MARLEY QUOTE:

“Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children’s growth and development, to help them grow with open minds and open hearts… This record represents my daily family life and is inspired by my three-year-old daughter Judah and baby Gideon. It was a joy to make and opened up new avenues in my creativity.”

  6. Would have to go with “You Are My Sunshine” – I know it’s cliche, but it’s a definite sentimental favorite since my mom and dad sang it to me all the time as a kid!

  8. I loved “Wet Paint” back in the 80s.. it was a Muppets or Sesame Street thing, I can’t recall exactly! I think subconsciously it made me become a painter! Thanks!

  9. I don’t know if this one counts or not, but I love “Little Bunny Foo-Foo” because kids, especially babies, just love it and once it gets in your head it’s impossible to get out!! 🙂

  14. my kids favorite song is one love by bob marley since the day she was born it has been the only song to calm her down shes 3 now and still requests i put it on almost 3 times a day lol RIP BOB!

  15. My favorite (by coincidence) is Row Row Row Your Boat because for the past 3 days I’ve been visiting my granddaughters for a Mother’s Day weekend out of state, and this morning my little 2 year old granddaughter sat with me and over and over we sang the song together. What a thrill that was!

  17. Day is done, little one.
    After It’s Hippity Hop To Bed it is the first song I sang to the kids to get them wound down from story time and we sort of make a little game when we do the close your eyes now sweet dreamer part and it’s just a fun,silly thing we do.

  21. My kids and especially my son love Take Me to Jamaica!! They dance and squirm and wiggle to it, it’ so darn cute to watch them in seventh heaven with this wonderful song!

  29. I ALWAYS LOVED THE ITSY BITSY SPIDER..my mom used to sing that to me all the time when i was little and it brings back so much comfort and good feeling whenever i hear it 🙂

  41. It’s the theme song from “Barney.” My boys and I used to sing it all the time together, it brings back memories from when they were small. Now they are grown up and away from the house and I can still remember when they were little and cuddly in my arms and it brings a smile to my face.

  44. My favorite kids song is “This Old Man”. My dad used to sing it to me as a kid. He also told me this funny joke that plays on the song. Something about a frog, a loan, Mrs. Pattywack and The Rolling Stones.

  47. My son loves Zeko and potocic (a Croatian song about a rabbit and a lake). My wife is from there and she tought him. He said it’s his favorite because he feels sad for the rabbit and wishes that he would help him. In the song, the rabbit couldn’t find his favorite lake, since it all froze in the winter.

  59. “You Are My Sunshine” was my favorite song as a child and I passed it on to my daughter, who also loves it! Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!

  79. My kids always loved the song about “if that mockingbird don’t sing, mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring”. I could only remember a couple of the verses, and would end up making crazy verses for my boys. Thanks for this contest, it brought back some great memories…

  87. I got to say I love Three Little Birds song by Ziggy’s grandma on the Putumayo World Playground. My kids and I love to dance around to it and I love to hold them tight to it.

  99. My son just turned 2. He loves “You Are My Sunshine”. He can sing almost the whole chorus by himself. I think he likes it because of the tune. It’s really easy for a little on to learn. We’ve been singing it to him since he was born.

  144. I love the Itsy Bitsy Spider, it’s always been a fav. Thanks!! My sister’s iPod just broke, so if I win, I might just gift this to her! I’m such a good sibling 😉

  156. I love “I love you too” and “helping hands”. My neices think they’re jamaican when they sing them, but the whole album is very inspirational. It brings our family together when we can act silly and sing songs about helping and loving each other as a family should!! I love it.

  157. Senior Don Gato- it’s a terrible children’s song about how some cat fell in love with another cat and wasn’t paying attention and fell off a roof and died. I must be a sicko because sad as it is I find it hilarious!
