This innovative packaging, combining a hardcover book with a CD, is ideal for children. An iconic poet and singer-songwriter deeply rooted in Canada’s history, Gilles Vigneault wrote the 14 songs that accompany Sunday in Kyoto. They evoke his love of nature, culture and travel and are imbued with natural imagery as well as multinational characters and settings. The title track tells the story of a Cajun musician who lives with his Japanese partner in Kyoto, enjoying Sunday afternoon jam sessions with friends from far away places, while other songs are educational, with counting and spelling in several languages including English, French and Japanese.

 
Sunday in Kyoto follows the acclaimed best-seller My Name is Chicken Joe, from four-time Grammy nominees Trout Fishing in America. This delightful package earned praise from The Toronto Star, Publisher’s Weekly, the New York Times and The Associated Press, among many others.
