Mazel Tov, Baby!

“Mazel Tov, Baby!” is a beautiful example of how an author and a songwriter can come together to create a book with an accompanying song…and I’m sooooo excited to share this interview with Singable Book Club members, where they’ll get to hear from BOTH Dara (the author) and Ashley (the songwriter).

Each perspective is fascinating and I’m honored they were able to share with me & the club about their entire process: from brainstorming, to recording, to the most challenging moments, as well as what they are most proud of when it comes to the book and song.

As Dara notes, “I’m so proud that both Mazel Tov, Baby! (the book) & Ashley’s adorable song encourages caregivers and children to celebrate their progress and connect with each other. It’s so important to celebrate each step we take, because even baby steps are important.”

After reading what they have to say, you’ll leave feeling inspired and energized to write your own singable book!

Make it a sensory experience!

Pairing manipulatives (like the squirrel, acorns, apple shaker & leaves featured in this video) with singable books is a fun and interactive way to make the reading a sensory experience! 🍁🍂

Cows in the Kitchen

🐄Want to know one of my go-to singable books for practicing the core word “in”?

Check out “Cows in the Kitchen”! The @childsplaybooks story illustrated by

by @airlieanderson is PERFECT for this! It’s also great for animal identification and “where” questions.

In the club, I’ve created visuals for you to download and use while you read/sing the book 🧡!
