We Love Fred Penner’s New Song!

Hey readers,

At the Owlkids office, we love anything Fred Penner, including his new song, “Somebody Believes.”

This uplifting tune has been released during International Development week (Feb. 3-9) to celebrate how Canadian aid is making a difference around the world.

The legendary children’s entertainer and World Vision Ambassador was inspired to write “Somebody Believes” after meeting Edgar, a former sponsored child, and hearing his story of resilience.

With its sweet harmonies and moving lyrics, we think you’re going to love this new song, too!

Sing a Song with Fred Penner!

Hey readers,

Fred Penner is the star of this month’s Look and Learn! The November issue is all about making music, and Fred shows you how he makes music by taking you on a step-by-step tour of how he records a song!

We can’t get enough of Fred, so we though we’d share this performance he did on Kids’ CBC. Make sure you have lots of room around you, because you won’t be able to stop yourself from dancing!

Maybe you’ve seen Fred in concert before, or another musician perform. Leave a comment sharing who you saw and what you liked most about it! Remember to read the November 2017 issue of Chirp for more Fred Penner!

Bye for now!

Today is Violin Day! The violin is such a cool instrument; it has been around for more than 500 years! Watch a 6-year-old kid play her violin in the video below. Do you recognize the song?

Hey, Music Lovers!

I just got a copy of this fun CD for kids. It’s full of original songs you can sing and dance to! And there’s even a karaoke section with just the music, in case you feel like singing solo.

Listen to a sample of the songs here:
