Mary McDonell is a teacher with the Brant-Haldimand-Norfolk Catholic District School Board. Mary, a musician and pianist was working to compile a collection of songs as a keepsake for her children. While growing up her boys would often ask Mary to play for them when they couldn't sleep.
In the midst of the recording process Mary heard about Sleeping Children from Grant Clark during one of Grant's visits to Mary's school. As Mary says in the CD's dedication: "I couldn't imagine little ones trying to sleep on the ground every night without even a blanket. As a child, the worst I ever had to worry about, with nine siblings, was that someone might steal my pillow in the middle of the night."

You can get a copy from members of Mary's family if you live in those parts of the province. Mary says: "So far, the customer feedback is very favourable. My 85-year-old mom sells one every time she goes into Tim's, in the little town in Eastern Ontario, where she lives. She is pretty much captain of the selling team as we speak."
