Fourth of July
For the 250th celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, I am happy to share my children’s song, "Fourth of July." I hope you will use it in your family, classroom, or community to help teach about this important event and to celebrate the 4th of July. For fun, please make a recording or video of children singing and share it with me through my contact button.
Each family is welcome to download one free copy for personal use.
If you would like additional copies for a class, group, or performance, please purchase them from J.W. Pepper here.
