Corn Song

PARENTS: Corn Song is the first song I'd ever written back in 1988. Later, I began to sketch the Corn Song characters to teach my kids how to draw. I remember the day I came up with the melody to the Corn Song out of desperation to entertain my daughter Ashia and her cousins who were visiting us on the weekends, and we had nothing to do. I was recently divorced and depressed, but my love for my family was my strength. My purpose in this story is to share the power of creativity in a when life gets rough. There may be times when parents become very sad and lonely and they don't want to burden their children with their sadness. Sometimes they can reach way down inside of themselves and be creative through art, music and other ways. This book is dedicated to families struggling to stay together, perhaps with little more than nothing but a song, perhaps a story and the dream of a better day to come.
