10 MP3 Songs
KIDS/FAMILY: Educational, KIDS/FAMILY: Children''s Pop
Details:
This is a rocking, funky, danceable collection of quirky kids songs about healthy food and sustainable living. Specifically promotes fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, and seeds - plant-based foods from our farms and gardens.
This album is dedicated to my friend Amie Hamlin, the Executive Director of the NY Coalition for Healthy School Food (NYCHSF), who commissioned me to write these songs and perform them as a pilot in New York City Schools.
The whole project was her idea, and she strongly influenced the writing of these songs. NYCHSF, and others like it, are in the forefront of educating children, their families, schools, communities, and governments
of the importance of healthy food. For more information, check out their website, https://www.tradebit.com
Special thanks also to the New York City Board of Education, Department of School Foods for their participation in both the NYCHSF pilot and follow-up projects that allowed us to bring these songs into 20 NYC urban schools.
A healthy portion of the proceeds from the sale of these albums directly supports NYCHSF, and their work to bring healthy food to our schools!
