Join Kate and Jake Goldbas as they bring children's literature to life through song, imaginative play and movement in their interactive story-time meets sing-a-long! 

New Canaan Library is proud to welcome Kate and Jake Goldbas for a special interactive concert inspired by Kate’s debut picture book and original song, "I Wish That I Could Be A Whale!"

When it’s time for bed, one curious child’s imagination is just waking up. What would it be like to sing like a whale, swing like a monkey or build like a beaver? Through shared music-making experiences families will explore how melody, rhythm and tempo help tell the story and bring the "I Wish That I Could Be A Whale" world to life!

Following the concert, families are invited to a book signing and meet-and-greet with the author and performers. Copies of "I Wish That I Could Be A Whale" will be available for purchase at the event.
