La Bella Stella is a really delightful compilation of artists who each contributed songs to the album that celebrate this great earth we all call home. It’s been released by Recess Music, a production company with the following mission: “We entertain, encourage, and educate children and families about or magnificent green planet through Earth-friendly music.” This album is a true celebration of the earth (and even the galaxy!) and is perfect in getting geared up for Earth Day in a few months!

One thing I love about albums like this is that they give you a means to familiarize yourself with a variety of children’s artists. Your favorite songs on the album are likely by groups that you would enjoy on their own, so you can go check out their other albums and see for yourself!

My personal favorite song on the album is Gravity. It actually reminds me a bit of the John Mayer song by the same name! The lyrics of this song, though, really help deconstruct just what gravity is and how it works. I love it!

If you are looking to check out some new artists, or you simply want some tunes that help your kids learn about loving our planet, La Bella Stella is a great find!
