I am a big believer in the concept of pointing to words in a children’s story long before your lil one is old enough to read. Why?

Brett Dennen….you are my summer soundtrack.

I picked this up at Amoeba today. It rocks my minivan so hard. In Sydney (I’ll come Running), Brett even gives a shout out to us soccer moms in the car park. I am so down.
