PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Enter a strange yet oddly familiar world. One that is absurdly like our own, a realm constructed of pseudo-nursery rhymes and unique, colorful illustrations, sprung forth from the creative minds of musician and artists Kyle Field and Greg Olin. Inside these oversized pages are tall tales, short stories, and long yarns for adults and kids alike. Inspired by Shel Silverstein but with an ear attuned to the era of smartphones. This striking package includes a listen-along soundtrack featuring Field and Olin reciting the poems over music and atmospheric accompaniment.
