The book is accompanied by a CD featuring both a Seeger performance and the more famous Byrds' recording.

A work of visual and auditory art, the beautiful words and of Ecclesiastes, the illustrations of Wendy Halperin and the music of Pete Seeger inspire and console. "To everything... turn, turn, turn... there is a season...turn, turn, turn...and a time for every purpose under heaven."
