I hope to post a few more of my personal recommendations. Here is one for the kiddos (or the kid at heart)
If you are looking for a great CD or DVD for your child, I highly recommend Free to Be You and Me by Marlo Thomas and friends. In typical 70's fashion, Free to Be You and Me promotes love and acceptance, regardless of age, race, gender, religion, marital status, sexual preference, etc. These are all values that I try to teach my kids every day - people should be accepted for who they are. I embrace learning about new cultures and focusing on discovering similarities instead of on cultures differences.
The star studded cast is pretty great - Marlo Thomas, Mel Brooks and Alan Alda headline but the "friends" are much more expansive. When the credits roll it is a treat to see everyone that contributed to the effort. Example: included is a fun clip of the late Michael Jackson as a teen singing a duet with the powerful songbird, Roberta Flack. Appropriate as Jackson and Flack are both iconic figures of the 70's. Even more ironic the feature is about how he will always remain a kid at heart.
Promote Peace and Love! If you are looking for an innovative gift for that special kid in your life, consider Free to Be You and Me.
Free to Be You and Me may not align with your beliefs. My recommendation is a matter of personal preference and opinion I did not receive any compensation for this post.
