Highlights include the light hearted anthem Fetch, the energetic Squiggle, and the quirky Disco Donut Robot. There’s also the earnest Friends With You, plus Back Home Soon, which received early acclaim from critics for its comforting message that deals with school anxieties and separation issues.

"Children respond in a pure, uninhibited, and genuine way to the joy of music. Participating early on in song and dance helps children learn safe and healthy ways to have fun and feel good," says Marcie, referring to how the music has an impact on kids, "Music is educational in that it helps kids learn patterns and rules, and deal with emotionally complex or confusing ideas."

The new album has been designed to encourage the use of imagination, kindness to others, respect for each other's differences, the importance of communication, and the idea that we all learn from our mistakes. It is also full of funny, energetic, thoughtful songs that will get you and your child singing, smiling, and dancing along, say critics.
