Mushroom in the Rain — A Song Celebrating Kindness and Community

A meaningful musical journey for toddlers and preschoolers that tells the sweet tale of a group of animals finding shelter during a rainstorm. This heartwarming song, with music and lyrics by Catherine Pupello and video and music production by Brian Forbes at Limitless Health Productions, features the Song Connects Us Choir with lead singer Rezig Lampkin-Crandall, joined by Kisimi Bayoh and Kaia Joshi.

Mushroom in the Rain is more than a song, it’s a celebration of giving, storytelling, and togetherness. Each charming character has a superpower — Share, Kindness, Patience, Zest, Enfocar, and Wisdom —embodies a unique ideal, showing how these values help us care for one another in times of need.

These superpowers are brought to life with a vibrant, animated video and a spirited arrangement of melody that blends both the playfulness of youth and a heartfelt message — a true reminder of the magic that happens when we make space for each other in our lives - the joy of sharing and unexpected friendship.

Listen & celebrate this joyful moment - share it with the young (young at heart).
