I would choose 'No woman no cry', very moving and wonderful! Great looking book and fantastic way to introduce the great Bob M to a young audience!

it sounds redundant, but “One Love” is my favorite!

Picking one favorite song of Bobs would be like me having to choose which of my two children I love best. It can't be done and I have just two kids,, Bob has hundreads of songs to choose from, all of which are Blessed Gospel Truths, and Wisdom. Some of my favorites are Time will tell, Concrete jungle, I'm hurting inside, Rat Race, Exodus, Babylon system,Forever loving JAH! etc…The list goes on and on Like his Spirit!

Beautiful book! I'm quite partial to Three Little Birds, myself but who doesn't love One Love?!

Wow! tooooo many Beloved Bob songs to name just one but I'll have to go with "No Woman No Cry" because I have it tattooed on my arm ;)
I love Cedella for creating this book! The message of One Love is spreading and we have to start with the Youth so that this idea is instilled in their head and they can continue on sharing the Positivity with their Youth..and so on…and so on…until we reach True World Peace…
Big Up!

“No woman No Cry” this is my favorite song because my daughter by 13 months was already singing…”here little darling” and we needed to play it over and over in the car, so cute!

My favorite Bob Marley song is "Jamming" cause no matter what, if you're down, sad, havin' a bad day, feelin' that the sun is never gonna shine, this song exudes happiness, an upbeat attitude, positivity. Yeah …

Is this where you enter win??!!? I hope so….Well, I too am having a hard time deciding on just one song, but “Chances Are” has been with me since I could speak. I used to sing it to myself as a child to help me sleep. (Embarrasingly) But, proudly I still do!

I am planning for a daughter in the near future whose middle name will be Cedella and I would love to give it to her.

PICK ME PLEASE :)

Hello!

I’d choose he song Roots Rock Reggae. Since my sisters and I have discovered it we have fallen in love with this song.

It's so hard to pick a favorite Bob song. We named our first daughter Cedella because we are such big fans and love his music and message so much. When we brought her home from the hospital the first song we sang to her was 'Three Little Birds'. So now this song has so much special meaning and memory for me. Can't wait to read her this book!!

I love One Love. The message is the most touching for me, having lived in several countries as a minority race. Thanks for the chance to win the book.

Bob songs make you feel as though it is summer year round!

"No Woman No Cry" is definitely in my top 5…so hard to choose just one! All the songs previously commented here are terrific too!

Would love to share this with my 8 yr old DD.

My favorite Bob Marley song would have to be "Jah Live." I have so many other favorites, but this song isn't very well known, yet has such a profound message that touches me, like EVERY Bob Marley song. My 7 year old daughter (Marlee, named after Bob) and her second grade class are featuring Bob Marley as the "musician of the month" and I plan to make a special visit to read this book to the class, and to bring my ukulele and sing some Bob Marley songs with the children. "Everybody loves Bob Marley, everywhere we go it's the same old story, people of all nations they love the Rastaman Vibration."
