Welcome to my “community media” space for music and learning!


Hot Take

Dinosaurs will never let you down. People of all ages are fascinated by them. Dinosaurs fly, swim, and stomp. They encourage digging in dirt to find their bones. And they have cool names that draw attention to pronunciation and spelling, like Velociraptor, Spinosaurus, and Tyrannosaurus Rex. Add pajamas to the mix and you’ve got a winning program—any time of day, any time of year!

In a dinosaur program, you get to stomp and chomp with your claws and jaws. You get to flap and soar and splash and more! Limitless books are there to explore. So what are you waiting for? Kids gotta ROAR!

This week, we’re featuring children’s book writer and illustrator, Catherine Macorol!

Catherine’s debut picture book, A IS FOR AXOLOTL: AN UNUSUAL ANIMAL ABC, just won a 2025 Charlotte Award. The Charlotte Awards from the New York State Reading Association go to works of outstanding literature that create lifelong readers. A IS FOR AXOLOTL is an illuminating peek at unique animals all around the world.

  1. I love all animals, but if I had to choose from the list, it would be the elephant. I’ve always felt an affinity for elephants because of their exceptional memory and ability to problem-solve. They also have a special connection with their families and are known to empathize with others. On top of that, elephants shape their environment in ways that help other species thrive and encourage diversity. Long story short, elephants are awesome!
