Music
Sunny Day by Elizabeth Mitchell (Smithsonian Folkways, $16)
We’ve been waiting too long for this: it’s been five years since we were smitten with Mitchell’s bestselling album, You Are My Little Bird. The songs are the sort you hear in fabulous independent children’s shops, lilting folk-inspired melodies you sing to soothe and find yourself humming later. Her cover of Bill Wither’s “Lovely Day” will steal your heart. —Melissa Carter
