The Most Inspirationl, Feel-Good, Timely Kids Album Ever!!

"If every child (and yes, adult) listened to this beautiful music and took heart, the world would be a much better place. The lyrics resonate to the very core of what children want and need...peace, complete acceptance, a sense of belonging, and tools for conflict resolution. I am a former Educator and Mother of four small children..I am using this album to reinforce positive life lessons and principles that I hope my children grow up with. My children sing the lyrics constantly, everywhere we go, and in doing so, they are continually reverberating kindness, goodness, basic human decency, and just plain 'ol being nice to others. I can't recommend this album highly enough! I feel like returning to teaching just so I can implement this music in a larger "Teaching Peace" unit. Thank You So Much, Red, for such an uplifting and truly timely and inspirational album!"
Wonderful music for the entire family

"I bought Teaching Peace after seeing Red Grammar in action. His music is catchy and has a beautiful message for children. My children were only 5, 4, and 2 when I bought this music, but even now at the ages of 14, 13, and 11 they know all the songs by heart. I am giving a copy to my sister, because my children refuse to part with our copy. What a wonderful and timeless message of love."
Songs our Kids NEED

"My oldest daughter received this CD on her first Christmas, 6 years ago. It has become a family favorite in the years since. It is an album parents and educators (I am both.) will not only "not mind" hearing repeatedly, they will enjoy. The lyrics are kid oriented but not repetive or over simplified. The music, especially for those of us who like folk is refreshingly diverse. The songs' themes of community, problem solving, and the respect for and embracing of all kinds of diversity are timely. My daughter's kindergarten teacher was using it after the events of Sept. 11, and was thrilled to hear her singing right along.I have used it in my classroom for years in both Social Studies and Character units."
Best childrens' songs

"I listened to Red Grammar's music for years when I was younger and always loved it. My cousin (19), sister (14), and I (17) still enjoy listening and singing along."
