Anson Seabra’s Welcome to Wonderland is a relaxing way to wake up to the week. The illustrations are captivating and Seabra’ voice draws you into Carroll’s magical word.

Anson Seabra captures a vision of Wonderland through his music, and with the graphics created by Philip Nilsson, it is simply beautiful. https://youtu.be/NN6J-aYI0d4 Welcome to Wonderland, we’ve got it all Potions and pastries that make you grow tall Forests and cottages, castles and cards that can talk Welcome to Wonderland, look where you’re at Maddest of hatters, the Cheshire Cat Magical cabins and lovely white rabbits with clocks Dancing through a dream underneath the stars Laughing ’til the morning comes Everyone that leaves has a heavy heart, oh, Wonderland I love Welcome to Wonderland, I’ll be your guide Holding your hand under sapphire skies Let’s go exploring or we could just go for a walk Welcome to Wonderland, where should we go There’s a tea party along down the road Make an appearance and maybe they’ll sing us a song Dancing through a dream underneath the stars Laughing ’til the morning comes…
