Thank you Richard Egielski, for the illustration, Michael John LaChiusa, for music and lyrics, with congratulations to 2012 Tony Nominated Actress Audra McDonald, for the beautiful “How Much Love” on Over The Moon: The Broadway Lullaby Project!

“Why I chose to participate”

Audra McDonald

Of all her many roles, her favorite is that of mother to Zoe Madeline. Audra’s mother is a breast cancer survivor, and the song is dedicated to Lovette George, her best friend, who died at a young age from ovarian cancer.

“Many times I have been asked to contribute an original illustration for a book whose proceeds benefit a cause: there was Home, aid for the homeless; For Our Children, for the Pediatric AIDS Foundation; Wing of an Artist, for the American Library Association; among others. If my schedule allows it and it is a good cause, I try mybest. The Broadway Lullaby Project fit this criteria and besides, what illustrator could resist the chance to illustrate a song by John LaChiusa?”
