"Coo-Roo" by Emma Nixon and her mother Kristin Umbarger-Keene

Emma Nixon (1999) and Kristin Umbarger – Keene (1969 (Peshastin, WA). Describe your homeland: Pretty, Beautiful! Flowers, mountains, apple orchards, Wenatchee river, green summers, snowy winters, people are talking, a lot of birds singing, river passing nearby. The Lullaby “Coo-Roo”, Kristin: I thought I made it up, but then my husband said it was a real song (it is very beautiful melody – Masguda.) To Emma the Sleep comes in a black color, Kristin sees It in different colors. “Dreams, colors, great detail in every scene. Darkness and peace. Also heat and fear at times. I think through the colors of the rainbow and envision objects of each color.” Emma likes to sleep listening to the music. To Kristin the Sleep comes very fast, with feeling of peace and tingling in her head. Kristin: “I love a smell of the forest after a rain, or anything outdoors after a rain. I love the taste of fresh berries. They are always such a decadent treat.”
