Kathryn Cloward created Kathryn the Grape series of children’s books and music CDs, featuring an “everyday girl” who helps children develop authentic self-love, thus sending ripples of loving kindness, acceptance, and compassion for others. The characters, music, and symbolism is meant to illuminate young minds and put children on a path to live purposeful, magical, and colorful lives.
“We’re thrilled to receive this national recognition for our first CD, which combines positive and affirming lyrics with dynamic music that appeals to kids of all ages,” says Cloward. “I’ve been writing song lyrics for as long as I can remember and have always wanted to share my original songs with the world, so this CD is a dream come true. Its seven songs link directly to the stories, characters and messages from the Kathryn the Grape books, and it’s truly a joy to see kids singing and dancing along, having fun while strengthening their belief in themselves.”
Cloward collaborated with San Diego musician and producer Astra Kelly to create the music CD, which was produced and mixed at local Capricorn Studios. Kelly is the lead vocalist, while Cloward sings backup vocals along with six “everyday San Diego kids” who were reportedly ecstatic to have the opportunity to sing in a recording studio and have their work enjoyed by their peers around the country.
The next book in the series, Kathryn the Grape’s Piece of Love, will be released around September. The Kathryn the Grape CD and book series are available on http://www.Amazon.com, http://www.Barnesandnoble.com, and http://www.KathryntheGrape.com.
