Mixtape Vol. 2: 🎶❤️ Going Back to the Beginning!

Welcome friends! We're so glad you're joining us for Mixtape Vol. 2 of Little Kids, Big Hearts. 💕 🎶

After releasing our first musical mixtape featuring songs from the most recent seasons, Todd is now going all the way back to the beginning, digging into the songs from the first three seasons of the show. These are the songs that started it all: written specifically for the podcast and born from real conversations that kids had about siblings, identity, trying new things, pets, belonging, big feelings, and the power of imagination.

This is the first of two episodes covering those early seasons. Todd takes us from a flying station wagon full of siblings to a journey with Crayton the Dragon, who was learning how to fly. From puzzle pieces and eight billion ways to be, to furry friends who mean everything, to the feeling of finally belonging just as you are, to the reminder that feelings, all of them, are okay.

More mixtape fun is coming soon, with songs about dreams, moving, learning differences, community, and the magic of stories.

Perfect for kids ages 3-11 and for listening together as a family.

• "I'm Such a Lucky One" — Bill English — from the Let's Talk Siblings episode
