Music meets meaning in new children’s book by beloved educator Mrs. Bev
‘Singing and Signing Is Fun’ inspires joyful learning through song and sign language for preschoolers
MILWAUKEE – Mrs. Bev, a retired preschool teacher and educational coordinator, announces the release of her latest work, “Singing and Signing Is Fun” (published by Archway Publishing). The book introduces classic children’s songs combined with simple sign language and classroom activities designed to foster language development, emotional expression and social bonding.
Inspired by a spontaneous morning melody of “Skid-a-ma-rink,” Mrs. Bev crafted this engaging resource to help educators and parents introduce children to joyful learning. The book includes classic tunes like “Old MacDonald” and “The Wheels on the Bus” — paired with hand motions and activity ideas, creating an immersive learning environment where even children with language barriers can express themselves, connect with others, and thrive.
“As an educator my favorite people are children,” says Mrs. Bev. “I see them as genuine, down to earth people who should be listened to more and given the credibility and recognised as having much to offer. Children have something to sing about, that the essence of who they are may be expressed through song. The goal is to provide this joy to children.”
“Singing and Signing Is Fun” celebrates the beauty of learning through fun. Music is a universal language, and when combined with signing, Mrs. Bev believes it becomes a powerful educational tool that nurtures communication, self-expression and happiness.
