Wishes, Dreams & Giants, released in 1989, is a collection of experiences about
Childhood in Northern Ontario. Songs like Grassy Narrows about the joys of growing
up on a Reserve, or If You Live in Northern Ontario, You Better Like Snow, directly
relate to children's experiences and transport the audience from a relaxing summer evening
to an icy cold adventure.
This album encourages children to learn about different cultures, find solutions for everyday
problems, and explore their imaginations with songs like Abiyoyo, a song about a mega giant
who loves to sing and dance.
Gertrude the Guitar, Dulcie the Dulcimer and Bill the Bilingual Banjo are accompanied by claves,
maracas, tambourines and triangles on this multi-lingual album which features songs in English, French
Spanish, Ojibway and Oji-Cree.
