The Little Mohee
The Little Mohee is an American ballad and was my first published picture book. I was 22 years old and had just graduated from Hornsey College of Art. The folk song is found all over the USA, but I was inspired by the story of Pocahontas,so I set the illustrations around that period of American history. It was published by Macmillan.

This beautiful book was a great favourite with me, my wife and our children and subsequently all the children we taught over thirty years! I recorded the song on an album in 1980 and re-recorded it in 2008. You can hear my version here: http://kenokines.wordpress.com/2011/06/19/little-mohee/
ReplyDeleteSo a big thank you for bringing the song to my attention in the first place, and keeping it there with such remarkable and lovely pictures.
