      abstract = {This book explores the narratives of a group of  four-year-old children in a composition project in an  Australian early learning centre. The participants, centre  staff and a composer, Stephen Leek, contributed a number of  music sessions for the children, including five original  songs. The book showcases young childrens communicative  ability and sensitivity to wider issues. The staff in the  centre have a strongly voiced philosophy that is enacted  through arts-based pedagogy and incorporates significant  themes including a respect for Aboriginal culture and  custodial responsibility towards a sustainable future for  the earth. Examples of adult and childrens ideas are  illustrated through music making, singing, dancing, words,  drawings and paintings, which provide insights into a world  where children are viewed as active citizens and the arts  have rights. The book describes the context of the centre,  the history of projects and details one project as an  example of "lifeworthy learning".
