Little Folkies Releases 4-CD Box Set: Songs for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter
Announcing Songs for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter, the four volume box set featuring interactive songbooks by Little Folkies. Songs for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter will be released as a 4-CD box set on January 23, 2026, and is currently available for pre-order here.
Little Folkies is a San Francisco-based folk music program for parents, teachers, and kids ages 0-5. Their special 4-CD box set of original folk music for young children will feature the sounds of all the seasons performed on string instruments with the gentle vocals of musician, educator, and Little Folkies co-founder Irena Eide (who also performs as Rainy Eyes), alongside musicians Dirk Powell, Peter Rowan, Phoebe Hunt, and many others. The songs are joyous, warm, and cheerful, encouraging children to connect with nature and one another.
Songs for Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter also includes an interactive songbook that is intended for parents to use at home to sing and play these folk songs with their children. With lyrics, chords and instructions to play along and a special movement or an activity for each song, the songbook helps nurture a love for music outside of the classroom. It also includes artwork designed by old-time, country-folk, and early roots musician Pharis Romero and is beautifully illustrated by Amelia Heron.
