Kids Song

Hollow Trail Clean-Up Chant

Nursery Rhymes

Title illustration for Tiptoe Firefly Count

Nursery Rhyme

Tiptoe Firefly Count

Callen Crow turns a lively golden-afternoon walk into a gentle counting watch as the first fireflies appear. Baby Bentley participates in newborn-appropriate ways—resting securely with Callen, tracking light, blinking, and listening—while the repeated anchor “Glow one, glow two; pause and watch what light can do” shifts the scene from busy movement to calm wonder.
