THE MOUNTAIN SONG is a children's book/audio recording for children with special mountains to climb -- learning disabilities. It's an original song, read-along cassette, full-color book illustrated by Marburn Academy (Columbus, Ohio) graduate Brendon Farley, & word guide by Earl Oremus, educator & headmaster of Marburn. The word guide deals with phonetics, dipthongs & syllabic version of the text. The book was inspired by a climbing mountain painted in Marburn's gym. "If a child can climb that mountain," they said, "he or she can gain the courage & self-esteem to tackle a math problem or vocabulary word." THE MOUNTAIN SONG tells the story of a learning disabled boy who dreamed of climbing a nearby mountain. A young girl & an eccentric old teacher encourage him, & are with him -- at least in spirit -- every step of the way. It's a story about the courage to set out & how the ability to climb & reach is essential. And it's about how self-esteem can grow with each step in the climb to the peak of the mountain.
