Music: "Free to be You and Me"

[audio=http://icelebratediversity.com/freetobeyouandme.mp3] A couple days ago my 15 year old daughter called me in to watch a new back to school commercial from Target. "Listen to the song in the commercial!", she said. She recognized one of her favorite childhood songs, "Free to be You and Me". If you aren't familiar with the song, I have included the song above. These songs used to be on Sesame Street when I was a kid and are still very relevant today--your kids will LOVE them! What I love most about the songs are they are positive, encouraging and free of sterotypes based on gender, class and race. The cd is on Amazon for just $7.98 (5 star review) and all of the songs are available for preview. This cd would be a great gift to keep on-hand for both boys and girls! Some of our favorite songs have been, "Boy Meets Girl" (below), "Parents are People", "It's Alright to Cry" and "William Wants a Doll". What are yours?
