The Album Is Finally Here
We've been waiting on this one.
Pep and Perk's new album It's Cool To Be A Kid just dropped, and it's a full lineup of feel-good songs made to celebrate being little.
You might recognize Rainy Days and Gonna Make You Smile. They're both on here, plus a whole batch of new ones your kids are about to be obsessed with.
There's something about a fresh album of kids' music they actually love. New favorites. New kitchen dance parties. New songs they beg to hear one more time.
We just celebrated Kids Day yesterday, and honestly this is the perfect way to keep the party going.
Press play and let them be little. 🎵
