This children's picture book tells the story of how the most popular song in the world began as a little ditty, "Good Morning to All," to greet kindergarten students each day. Sisters Mildred and Patty Hill wrote the music and lyrics and later changed the words to the familiar "Happy Birthday to You."

Gr 1-3-Kentucky sisters Mildred and Patty Hill wrote songs together as children and adults. As schoolteachers, they began their days with their own composition, "Good Morning to All." A change of words brought about "Happy Birthday to You." Cheerful drawings show the energetic sisters' impact on their community, and ultimately, the world. (c) Copyright 2011.
