Come join Emmett & Cooper as they learn the basics on how to make sound and sing! This is an interactive book geared towards Pre-Kindergarten children with a sense of togetherness. Share in the joy with the two sing-along songs that can be played at home or in the car! The songs are available on any online music database (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, etc).

A Note from the author: For me, this book was for all the little kids that never got the opportunity to be read a story before bed. It wasn’t a norm in my household when I was a kid, so I wanted to create a book that my grandchildren’s children could enjoy. A way to honor the sacred hybrid of teaching, learning, storytelling, and memorable moments that become cherished memories of togetherness.
