The Power of a Working Song: Baba the Farmer

The Power of a Working Song: Baba the Farmer

Karen Johnson comes from a long line of storytellers, It is a verbal tradition that harkens back to a time without computers, pen and paper. It takes us back to the oral traditions that precede written history. In her book, Baba the Farmer, we see an example of a working song. Baba uses his working song to teach his boys how to live. He sings it to the boys every day as he works through his day while they listened and watched. There were no instructions. Baba sang and worked. When they needed to step in for Baba, the boys were able to do it by just remembering what Baba did. The boys had learned the tasks and the routine by listening to Baba.
