TIS’ YOU (Parent Version)
(Tune: “Simple Gifts”) By Dr. Jean and Dr. Holly

Tis’ you they love.
Tis’ you they need.
Sing them a song.
Get a book and read.
Sit down on the floor.
Laugh and play.
Cherish your children
And enjoy each day.

Turn off your computer and your phone.
Turn off the television in your home.
Hug them and give them quality time.
Let them know, “I’m so glad you are mine.”

Open a book
And make new friends.
Reading creates memories
That will never end.
You’ll have adventures
And visit new lands
With your child in your lap
And a book in your hands.

Turn off your computer and your phone.
Turn off the television in your home.
Model how exciting reading can be.
Give your child a lifetime “reading key.”
