Opening Song

Book: Daniel Chooses to Be Kind by Rachel Kalban (Simon & Schuster)

Song: “If You’re Kind and You Know It” (Tune: “If You’re Happy and You Know It”)
If you’re kind and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re kind and you know it, clap your hands.
If you’re kind and you know it, and you really want to show it.
If you’re kind and you know it, clap your hands.

Additional verses:
If you’re helpful and you know it, stomp your feet…
If you’re generous and you know it, peekaboo…
If you’re thoughtful and you know it, shout hooray…

Take an apple
Put it in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it a lot.
Take it out now. What will it be? The prettiest red you ever did see!

Take an orange
Put it in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it a lot.
Take it out now. What will it be? The prettiest orange you ever did see!

Take an banana
Put it in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it a lot.
Take it out now. What will it be? The prettiest yellow you ever did see!

Take an pear
Put it in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it a lot.
Take it out now. What will it be? The prettiest green you ever did see!

Take some blueberries
Put it in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it a lot.
Take it out now. What will it be? The prettiest blue you ever did see!

Take some grapes
Put it in the pot.
Stir it, stir it, stir it a lot.
Take it out now. What will it be? The prettiest purple you ever did see!

We’ll wave hello together,
We’ll wave hello together,
We’ll wave hello together,
‘Cause it’s fun to do.

Book: If You Plant a Seed by Kadir Nelson (HarperCollins)

Song: “You Are My Sunshine”
You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You’ll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

The other night dear
As you lay sleeping
I held you closely in my arms
You looked so lovely
Sleeping peacefully
I watched you all through the night

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You’ll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

I’ll always love you
And be there for you
I’ll protect you from harm’s way
‘Cause I adore you
You’re my dream come true
You’re my beautiful sunshine

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are grey
You’ll never know dear
How much I love you
Please don’t take my sunshine away
