Album Notes

Parents' Choice GOLD Award
Let’s go outside. Whether in the city, the suburbs, or on a farm, the world outside your door offers you wonder and delight. There is a growing national awareness of the educational and developmental benefits for children of time spent in the natural world. With humor and warmth, Sarah beckons us to experience the exploration and enchantment of the seasons, farm life, city neighborhoods, and family time. These lively songs encourage outdoor play and a childhood nourished by imagination, curiosity, and nature.

If you want to hear some of the best songs out there today...listen to Sarah Pirtle."
– Pete Seeger

Sarah received the Magic Penny Award for lifetime achievement in children's music.

"Picture rolling green hills, bright blue skies, children playing, and a group of people sitting around with their guitars, banjos, fiddles, mandolins, and hand drums perched on their knees. Now picture it all in the hand-held, packaged form of a CD, and you have Pocketful of Wonder. Earthy, folksy, and clearly authentic singer/songwriter Sarah Pirtle captures the essence of being in the great outdoors with her wondrous songs about farm life, city life, growing vegetables, and the different seasons. Toe-tapping music and upbeat melodies celebrating nature seem to come effortlessly to Pirtle. Her talents shine through in the ease with which she sings, "Let's go outside. The mud is calling. I think that bare feet will be fine. Let's go outside. Splash in puddles. And most of all I'm gonna take my time," speaks to the simple pleasures of childhood.
