Melanie Milburn

Melanie's Music - What People are saying

 

Melanie sings about the challenges of growing up, love, learning, friendships, and much more.  Her songs will make you laugh and will  make you cry.  Kathy Stottlemyer

 

Melanie is a gifted musician and a dedicated teacher of young children.  Her real life experiences with kids and her great love for them comes through in her original compositions.  She performs with humor, energy, creativity and heart!  You’ve got to hear her yourself to appreciate how fun it is for young and old alike.  Libby Culver, Early childhood Administrator

 

I love the book! I can't wait to read it tonight to the boys. You are so talented and creative! It is so inspiring to see people who truly live the life they were meant to live- we benefit so much. Thank you. I can feel your heart in everything you do.  Marietta Eccher Linney

 

“My children's eyes lit up when I read them Melanie Milburn's book, "I Love You More... Than Chocolate".  As many times as I've told them I love them, in what I've said and what I've done, they've never been as delighted as they were to hear that I really did love them more than chocolate.  The book conveys what parents want their children to know in a way that speaks clearly and impressively to the child's mind and heart.  Inspired by this story, my three year old beamed as I tucked her into bed, "Mommy, I love YOU more than pink ice cream!"   Amy McClellan

 

“Miss Melanie is a talented teacher and author.  Her crazy obsession for chocolate can only be overshadowed by her love of children.  We are lucky to have Miss Melanie in our lives.”  Conor Feeney

“I have read I Love You More… Than Chocolate to my girls several times now.  We love it!  As a mom I find it so touching!  The girls love it for a bedtime story, they like to sing the song & look at the pictures...we make a list of the things that we love, but not more than one another!  Livi says she loves your book more than chocolate too!  Jan Schill

4 the Love of Books – Written originally as a song now in book form. This rhyming book is just adorable. If you have a child that needs that extra touch knowing you love them no matter what this is the book. Also comes with a CD of the author singing the song.

​

The Paperback Pusuer – This delightful children’s book is so much fun to read! …For kids, it’s all about getting excited and making the book fun and interactive, and that’s what Melanie Milburn has succeeded in doing. I recommend this book to young children and the people that read to them.  

​

My Tower of Books – This is such a sweet book! I think I’ve read it almost 20 times to my kids after having it for about a week….A cd of the author singing the song that goes with the book is on the back cover….I believe we listened to this song the whole 45 minute drive to my parents’ house. Pretty catchy tune! A great book (and song) that kids will want to hear again and again!
