Sing-Along: “We’re All Amazing”
London Rhymes – Diversity and Equality – Songs for Babies and Children

“We’re All Amazing” is a song crafted with families, young ones, schools, and early years settings in mind. Inspired by the global Black Lives Matter movement, we recognized the importance of conveying these vital ideas to even the youngest of minds. This song celebrates the idea that each of us is extraordinary, embracing the uniqueness and special qualities that define us.
