Reviews and Recommendations for
The Rain is Coming, rain forest songs.
This CD and its accompanying lyric coloring book is excellent. Penelope
Torribio's voice and music is joyous, vital, and energizing, while
the book illustrations by Suzanne Ross are beautifully realized and perfect
visual companions to the songs.
The
educational aspects of this musical for children are multifaceted. Besides
the environmental and ecological insights there are relational
lessons here as well. Most of the songs have a great deal of humor and
are celebratory and empowering such as the inspiring "Guardians
of the Earth". I highly recommend this CD and book for
children from toddler to teen. Anna Pomaska, children's author
and illustrator.
Dear Ms. Torribio, I really enjoyed your songs and show. Me
and my friends think your voice is beautiful. You were really nice
for letting people go up and help. I hope I can read your books. I
wonder how you can change a voice to another when you work with puppets. You
made my school and me have a lot of fun. My mom loves the guitar
too. I play the violin with two of my friends. Sincerely
Xiomara Garcial, El Amo Elementary, Long Beach Authors Festival,
2003.

This CD about the rainforest was useful
in a thematic unit I was doing in a classroom. As a primary teacher
I am always looking for ways to tie in music with my lessons. Thank
you and keep up the good work! Tessa Childers
Making
a Chain for Change
In
Penelope's Torribio's 2007 musical puppet
show, "Under
the Blue Blue Sea," a girl--turned
mermaid-- sings a song to a moray eel. He is guarding the coral
reef and threatens to bite her. When she tells him she wants
to help guard the reef he says, "We don't need you." She
says she doesn't agree and sings the delightful songs, "If
you want to make a change, if you need to make a stand, then you've got
to make a chain, you've got to reach out with your hand. "To
listen to this song sung by the mermaid and the moray eel click on
their picture below.

We are making a chain for change. What if we had 10,000 or more
names saying that they will do all they can to individually care for
the earth and all its elements! Let's try it.
