Program Note

Based on a children’s book written by Nancy Patz and Susan L. Roth and illustrated by Susan L. Roth, this is a humorous song for children’s chorus.

When a baby sister comes along, it seems she is just too little for anything! Will she ever be big enough to play? To whisper secrets? To eat kimchee? Will she always lie there? Scream for no reason? Be so helpless and little? When a baby sister is just TOO LITTLE to do anything, what's her big sister to do but wait and wait and WAIT . . . and dream about what's to come. Includes a footnote about the history of kimchee in Korean culture.
