I Have a Light – A NEW Album by Laurel Nakai!

If that short intro from Ready Set Draw! has gotten stuck in your head and left you wanting more, then you’re in luck! Nakai has a full-length version on the album that’s just as fun as the original (she even got her kids to recreate their signature giggles!)

Another recognizable tune is “Sunshine, Rainbow, Starlight,” a reworking of “You Are My Sunshine.” Nakai said, “My mom sang the song to me, and I always sang it to my kids. With the new verses, I wanted to enhance that aspect of the song— as a message from a parent to a child.”

Music director for KidLit TV, Laurel Nakai composed a new EP full of fun and catchy songs that the whole family will love.

When asked about advice for other young songwriters, Nakai said, “When I was a kid, my favorite things to do were to play pretend, and to sing…that’s all songwriting is, playing pretend and putting it to music!”
