Description
It is my privilege to write an introduction to this beautiful book of Christmas songs by the talented Watkins/Gardner team. Vanja Y. Watkins, a music educator who taught at Brigham Young University (BYU), is the author and/or composer of 27 songs in the Children’s Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; she is also the composer of two hymns in the 1985 LDS hymnbook. Marvin K. Gardner, who spent 28 years as an editor for the Ensign and Liahona magazines and is now a professor of editing, writing, and publishing at BYU, also wrote hymn and song texts that have been published in the LDS hymnbook and the Children’s Songbook.
