This album is more than a collection of songs. It is also pieces of a story in progress. A story of a journey we take together in our dreams, flying to different worlds through the magic of song.

As you click on the songs, you will see that each one is introduced by a part of the story. Even though the story is not yet finished, each introduction sets a scene in which the song takes place. You can also use the introductions to create your own story! Click on each piece of the story below to see which song accompanies it.

Also: Try the activities that go along with each song, and send us your ideas and drawings! Perhaps we can write this story together.

"Close your eyes and dream with me," says The Fox. "This colorful parachute is made of music.... and it can take us on a journey to a land of Brilliant New Ideas."

The Fox at your side, you float down onto a peninsula full of lakes, rivers and mountains, and discover a world of joyous characters preparing to do a dance of the flowers...

After you finish the dance of the flowers with your new friends, you look up at the sky, ready to relax on your journey. As you slowly lift off, you look below you and see...

As you drift along, you suddenly hear a sound. You see two magical beings swoop by, calling "sook sook!" They are two Red Birds, inviting you and The Fox to join them in flight and sing a song of springtime.

You follow the Red Birds to a clearing in the hillside, and what a sight! There you find a grand gathering of animals of all shapes and sizes, getting ready to sew some outfits. They are delighted to see you, because they need your help...

After a long, satisfying afternoon of sewing in the warm sun, your stomach starts to rumble. You smell something delicious in the air, something that reminds you of a distant time and place...

You finish your meal and your stroll down memory lane. As you hear ocean waves in the distance, The Fox looks up at the darkening nighttime sky and sees a magical sight: a starfish flying out of the ocean, into the stars...!

After a good night's sleep, you wake up to the sounds of birds chirping in the morning sun. You open your eyes and look above you to see a willow tree, sunlight peeking through its long flowing branches, welcoming you to springtime.

You and The Fox walk along a stream by the willow tree and come across a family of rabbits, playing together. One rabbit sits alone, feeling down. You wonder what might be wrong, so you go sit with her and listen to her story...

Your sing-a-long with the rabbits has attracted more colorful characters. It's the Musikaru family! They travel the world in a hot-air balloon, going wherever the wind takes them. They invite you and The Fox to join them for a ride...

Alongside the Musikaru family and The Fox, you fly in your balloon to another peninsula full of lush, rolling mountains. There, you spot two siblings by a stream, playing with pebbles and washing vegetables.

From the peninsula, you fly south to a long, skinny island. There you spot a ceremony happening under a grove of beautiful pink trees. You land your balloon, and are handed a colorful hat covered in petals...

You, the Musikaru family, and The Fox say farewell to the flower hat dancers, and float west in your balloon. Soon you hear shouts of joy, singing, and celebration. You find yourselves in a new year's parade, next to dancing dragons, fireflies and fireworks...

After a raucous celebration, you fly away in your balloon towards the rising moon. Everyone settles in for the night. You close your eyes in flight, and start to dream...

You wake up just as the sun begins to rise. It's a brand new day. The world is still and silent. This adventure has come to an end, but the next one is just beginning...
