Pam has been an early childhood music educator for over twenty-five years with a passion for singing, rhyming, reading stories, and making music with preschoolers. When Pam noticed that some children seemed unfamiliar with traditional nursery rhymes, and that parents and teachers were avoiding them because of their outdated, dark, and inappropriate nature, she set out to update them in a way that allows them to nurture kindness, empathy and gratitude. Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times® provides a memorable way to build language, musicality, and literacy through songs, stories and rhymes that children adore and adults can feel good about. The inclusion of resources that support social and emotional learning (SEL) make it easy for parents and teachers to engage with the children they love about the importance of being kind, empathetic and grateful. The rhymes in the book can also be enjoyed as songs on the Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times album recorded by Raffi and Lindsay Munroe, as well as in videos on the Nursery Rhymes for Kinder Times® Show on YouTube.

She lives in New York with her husband, and loves when her children, grandchildren, and granddogs come to visit! Pam collaborated with Dan and Catherine Markowitz for art and design of the book.
