Mother Goose's legacy

The NEW Rhythm and Rhyme project:

I decided I wanted to work with Nursery Rhymes, as the history and meanings behind them were so interesting.

The other thing is that everyone seems to know the way that each nursery rhyme is meant to be sung, i.e. its 'rhythm'. Due to this it has been possible for these rhymes to survive the test of time.

I decided I wanted to contextualize these rhymes, with their initial subject matter being the features of their day and age, and convert them into a contemporary setting, making the meanings clearer, and easier to relate to.

First I wanted pictures to support the rhymes, as I wanted to make a Children's book of Rhymes.
