Their collaborative effort teems with curiosity and aptly celebrates the nascent joys of exploration and learning. True to their roots as longtime friends, Gardner and McCombs forge a connection for young hearts teetering on the precipice of newfound understanding. A bridge for children learning their way through the labyrinth of life and parents seeking to rekindle the flames of youthful wonder, Sing And Play is a lush symphony of emotions and experiences.
