Sleep-Time: Songs & Stories is a studio album by American folk singer Pete Seeger. It was released in 1958 by Folkways Records. It was later re-released in 1967 under the name Abiyoyo and Other Story Songs for Children by Smithsonian Folkways.[1]
On this children's album, Pete Seeger devotes himself to putting small children to sleep, first by telling them stories, then by singing to them. The LP's first side contains two stories with music. Side two features child-oriented songs, concluding with the a cappella song "One Grain of Sand."[2] The album was recorded by Moses Asch. The illustration for the original release was done by David Stone Martin and the design for the reissue was by Craig Mierop.[3][4]
