Ali 'A Song ... A Dance ... A Play ... A Musical Book For You!' is now available in French, Spanish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian and I am currently working with Braille Literacy Canada and the Canadian National Institute for the Blind to have this book transcribed for the visually impaired.

It is my hope it reaches many readers worldwide and that we start singing, dancing and playing together ... bring some joy to this place we all reside on and seem to be sad on together, which in turn will bring us closer together.

Dedicated to everyone and for the betterment of Earth.
