This Album contains 10 maternal songs for a newborn baby. The book includes lyrics and musical notes. It is  illustrated by Sara Miari. Solmaz Naraghi writes in the introduction:

only one week after his birth,  I realized that words could not convey my emotions clearly!I had to create my own love songs  to communicate with the newborn. My sister’s son  slept like a small bird under the blanket and his mouth was like a rosebud. I started writing the  first song at midnight without any musical instrument or even a piece of paper. I recorded my voice with a cellphone quietly under the blanket. I continued writing songs for the baby’s milestones such as teething, walking, talking, Peek-a-Boo playing, etc.This is how Tati Tati was born.

These songs have been arranged three times during the last 10 years. After much experimentation,, I decided to record them with only one melodic instrument and percussions to communicate the  purity, privacy and simplicity of a mother-baby relationship.  The melody of two of the songs are from comic folk  songs, “Ye Pooleh Khorous” and “Allagarson” composed by Javad Badiizadeh more than 80 years ago.
