Singer Songwriter Joe Reilly brings message of environmental stewardship to "Children of the Earth" in new CD

Latest album offers environmental songs for kids of all ages

Joe Reilly is a singer, songwriter and environmental educator at the Leslie Science and Nature Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. His way of working with children is empowering, inspiring, and educational. Offering an interactive musical program called Children of the Earth, Joe helps people of all ages deepen their relationships with themselves, each other, and with their natural environment. Appropriate for preschool through middle school, Joe brings smiles to audiences while teaching ecology and environmental stewardship with creative lyrics and catchy melodies.

After more than two years of writing songs with and for children, Joe is ready to release a full-length album of environmental songs for kids of all ages. Titled Children of the Earth, the album includes a chorus of kids’ voices singing with Joe and his guitar on several of the twenty-three fun and educational tunes. The songs teach environmental science and ecological stewardship while entertaining kids and adults alike. Children’s voices offer brief interludes between songs as they candidly speak about what is important to them in nature and as they teach us how we can better protect our natural environment. The album offers hope for young and future generations in a time when the stability of our earth’s ecosystems and our place in them can feel uncertain.

  • A Real Gem
    author: Anita Dacanay

    Joe's CD is such a unique creation - what a fun way to learn about and celebrate planet Earth! Playful, educational, inspiring, and full of catchy tunes that compel everyone to sing along. My 7 year old gives the CD a BIG thumbs up, and says his favorite song is "I Love Nature."

  • Eco Tunes
    author: National Public Radio's Living On Earth

    From mammals to amphibians, the water cycle to tomatoes, singer-songwriter Joe Reilly teaches kids about the importance of the environment through music- and invites them to sing along. Reilly combines his love of music and his role as an environmental educator on the new CD "Children of the Earth." The youngsters Reilly works with sing along and offer their own ideas to help teach basic science, and spread the message of the importance of ecological stewardship to young people.

  • Teaching Ecology and Stewardship
    author: Ann Arbor News

    Reilly has used his songwriting skills as a method for teaching ecology and natural science...His CD includes 23 original songs with environmental themes that teach stewardship of the Huron River, the importance of planting and caring for trees and animals (including mosquitoes), and of the interconnection between all living creatures. The CD includes interviews with kids as they share what’s important to them about the Earth and suggest simple things people can do to help support healthy ecosystems.

  • Artfully woven
    author: Jeannine Palms

    Joe invites children into his music. It is music that celebrates the natural world and draws participants in to be a part of it. The children precipitate, evaporate, and condensate through the water cycle; they become a tiny seed that transforms into a life-giving tree. Some of Joe's tunes are artfully woven together with the children's words and ideas. As they move and sing, they learn. Joe's playfulness and humble empathy for all life soon has the children singing about their part in caring for the intricate web of life that connects us all. Joe has a genuine way of communicating with children that holds their attention in the moment but also stays with them to be spontaneously uttered later: ‘We are all related.'
