Simply Children teaches our young ones how to sit down and listen, stand up and speak, show kindness, and appreciate the nature that surrounds them. From listening to a clown in Clowns are People Too, to learning to slow down in Busy Lizzy. Simply Children teaches us all the joy of being "Simply Children."
