 ates the spirit of a family room in the concert hall and is an invitation 
 to children\, parents and grandparents to <strong>sing\, play and read</st
 rong> <strong>together</strong>!</p>\n<p>Jim Gill is a musician and author
  with unique credentials among children's artists. Jim is a child developm
 ent specialist\, completing his graduate studies in child development at t
 he Erikson Institute of Chicago with a special emphasis on the study of pl
 ay. For this reason\, each of Jim's recordings and books is created as an 
 opportunity for playful interactions between a child and a caring adult. A
 nyone who has experienced one of Jim's family concerts knows that rather t
 han performing for the children and parents\, Jim leads them to sing and p
 lay together.</p>\n<p>Jim has released ten award-winning CDs of music play
  for young children that are favorites in family rooms\, classrooms and pl
 ayrooms. Jim is also the author of two children's books. A Soup Opera is a
  silly sing-along opera inspired by concerts that Jim performs with sympho
 ny orchestras. His first book\, May There Always Be Sunshine\, continues t
 o inspire children from across the country to share their heartfelt wishes
  and extraordinary illustrations in community VIDEO book projects that Jim
  carries out with libraries\, school districts and other community organiz
 ations.</p>\nhttps://akronlibrary.libnet.info/event/14816173
