nytimes.com - Inside City Hall in October, some three dozen commissioners and administration officials gathered to discuss children’s issues, rattling off statistics on cognitive development in toddlers.
The group, called the “children’s cabinet” by Mayor Bill de Blasio, was formed in April, but had, on this day, attracted a first-time visitor: his wife, Chirlane McCray.
And Ms. McCray had a request: Would anyone mind, she asked, if she sang a song?
Hearing no objections, New York City’s first lady began a lullaby she had used with her own family, turning to serenade a deputy mayor who had discussed the importance of singing to children.
