The Little Star children’s book and music out now!
Parents and teachers looking for a fresh, imaginative way to introduce children to jazz music now have the perfect resource. “Little Star and Other Stories”, the latest book by Gary Williams, offers three beloved nursery rhymes, reimagined with heartwarming tales and a musical twist.
In this playful collection, each story brings a familiar story to life in a whole new way:
The Little Star – Inspired by Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, this charming tale follows two lovable hedgehogs living peacefully near a pumpkin patch. But things take a surprising turn, and readers will have to dive into the story to find out what happens next!
Humpty and the Wall – A fresh take on the classic Humpty Dumpty, this story reveals why Humpty was so determined to climb the wall—and why sometimes, walls aren’t the solution we think they are.
Mary and John – Based on Mary Had a Little Lamb, this heartfelt story introduces readers to Mary and her best friend, who happens to be a sheep.
To enhance the reading experience, a QR code inside the cover allows readers to scan and listen to the accompanying original jazz songs as they enjoy the stories with their children. Each song brings the characters and stories to life, making it a truly interactive experience.
Available in a 120×120 paperback format with a soft, glossy cover, this delightful book is perfect for storytime at home or in the classroom.
The five track EP is also available to stream right now. It features the three original tracks from the book plus Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and Dandelion another playful original from Gary Williams and Jon Nickoll.
