After
raising a family, writing over 1,000 songs, releasing over 60
albums of original music, serving a full-time proselyting mission
in Santiago, Chile, and surviving a debilitating stroke, you might
think Janice Kapp Perry would take a vacation.
Instead, she and her husband, Doug, are church service missionaries
in a Spanish-speaking ward in Provo, UT, and she's just recorded
her latest project for children -- "Let's Sing About Latter-day
Prophets," which celebrates the Lord's latter-day leaders
from Joseph Smith, Jr. to our own Gordon B. Hinckley. Each prophet
is honored with a song describing their lives and missions, as
well as featuring a full-color montage of each prophet's life
by LDS artist and illustrator Robert Barrett.
Janice
discusses researching and writing the project, her philosophy
of writing for children, and more.
That's this week on The Cricket and Seagull...
