This project was an afterthought before embarking on a world record attempt to establish legitimacy in the outcome
​
And proceeded to be a world record in its own right with the Golden Book of World Records - Longest quotidian feat of composing, producing and publishing children's song incessantly

My Thoughts When Composing
Adults invariably get to listen to children’s songs, and almost always, on repeat. The songs needed to be more bearable and relatable for the adults as well. The Disney movies have proven children have an appetite for real songs. Bringing a balance between the expectations of children and adults (even for the children), the songs meet midway.
Furthermore, I wished for the songs to convey values, virtues and facts about life, with positive messages as much as possible, but also not withholding the truth.
What You Can Expect
Songs for kids aged 4-12
Songs about life, their world and the world at large - illusory and factual
Songs that impart values in the young mind
Songs that encourage them to dream
Songs that inspire them
Songs that trigger their imagination
Songs that nurture them and educate them
Songs that help them process their emotions
Loud songs, soft songs, colorful and sad; songs to play, clap, sing, dance and sleep to
Songs to meditate and unwind
Songs that also speak to parents, grandparents and caregivers
​
I've a strong feeling these songs will also resonate with most adults that are just waiting to awaken the child in them. The songs have been composed and rendered in a fashion that will also speak to adults. Since all the songs have positive/ factual/ unbiased messages, it is quite the balm for the soul; as was my experience making them.
The author hails from a gospel music background and that influence will be felt in some of the songs, there is no intent to impose, instead a request to foster a tolerance for all.
