Few children's albums have such a strong and beautiful sense of place as Teresa Doyle's If Fish Could Sing. In this case, the place is Canada's Prince Edward Island, where Ireland lies quiet and green just beyond the waves and Quebec sings in the background.
Ms. Doyle, who lives on a small farm on P.E.I., brings these Celtic songs to life with a flavor all her own. This album won an American Library Association Award, Parents Choice Recommended and was nominated for both an East Coast Music Award and a JUNO Award. More than that, it happens to be our daughter Abby's favorite album--she can sing every word. Recorded in Ms. Doyle's kitchen, If Fish Could Sing is at turns beautiful, funny, homey and always enchanting.
