Child of Wonder

Bestselling composer Marty Haugen's Child of Wonder, written for the baptism of his godson, celebrates the sacredness of human life and childhood. Now in this wonderful book, artist Stephen Nesser illuminates the lyrics with scenes of childhood rituals from faith traditions and cultures around the world, who play together to form community. These vibrant illustrations are a perfect complement to Marty's inspired poetry. Included with the volume is a link to a free mp3 download of the song, as well as the full notation of Child of Wonder for families that wish to sing along.

One of the best-known composers of music for worship in the past half-century, Marty Haugen has more than 30 recordings and 400 songs in print. Stephen Nesser spends his days painting, hang gliding, and reading. His paintings are in museums around the world, including the Smithsonian Institution.
