Summer is COMING! We performed at Rye Playland in NY where the Westchester Children's Museum will be built! We had such a great time at their Explore-a-thon! It was such a well organized event and our performance under a shady tree right on the waterfront was such a wondreful ending to the day!

Thanks to all the folks up in Westchester!!!

Are you going to be going to the Eric Carle Museum to see us on August 25th? If you don't know Eric Carle, he is probably one of the most famous picture book authors who ever lived. Perhaps you know his book called The Very Hungry Caterpillar or the The Very Lonely Firefly or The Very Quiet Cricket. Needless to say, we are psyched to head up to Amherst, MA and perform at this HUGE, FUN, BRIGHT and COLORFUL museum!

Off to another Constant Wonder show....catch the wonder!

Happy SPRING! We had a great outdoor show at the Tulip Festival in Huntington, NY on Sunday! It was a beautiful show and our GREEN message was warmly received. Sarah, a Wonder Kid Fan from way back, came up after the show with little bits of garbage she found on the ground so she could help "Save the Earth!" After she got home she decided to change her birthday party plans to a "Save the Earth Party" and she and her friends will celebrate after they have clean up time and "bend down and pick it up" at a local park.

Thanks to you Wonder Kid Fans the Earth will be a little cleaner and a better place for you to grow up in!

Hello to all! Constant Wonder has some exciting news! Constant Wonder was invited to perform at the Eric Carle Museum in Amherst, MA on Aug. 25th at 1 pm. For picture book lovers and former kindergarten teachers like Connie, an invitation like this is HUGE, exciting and an honor!

Once Alice and Connie heard the news they trucked on up to Vermont and scoped out some summer gigs!

Alice and Connie's kids, Eliza, Jackson and Taylor all had a blast, especially when they woke up to 5 inches of snow!

Constant Wonder is so excited to hit the road this summer and spread their interactive message about respecting the world's creatures and responsible ecology to new friends.

The people in Vermont were really cool, calm, sweet and GREEN! Alice, Connie and their kids had lots of fun!

LATE BREAKING NEWS...as of 12/13/05

Today, Constant Wonder's "Walk with Wonder" is on ....buckle your seatbelt...pinch yourself twice...

THE OFFICIAL GRAMMY AWARD WEBSITE!!

Laurel Fishman, from www.grammy.com writes the Education Watch piece under Industry News and has this to say...

"Some notable new educational CD releases: Walk With Wonder, the debut CD from duo Constant Wonder, combines original music with science and nature education. With upbeat orchestrations, songs are woven together through an imaginary journey in the countryside, accompanied by characters, sound effects and unexpected outcomes."

Last Week's Late Breaking News.....

Our debut cd, "Walk with Wonder" was just released 3 weeks ago and we have received 2 awards from the Adding Wisdom folks ~ Best Music Award 2005 and the Parent to Parent Adding Wisdom Award 2005. We are so honored because family testers - real families with real kids - whose parents are librarians, teachers, pediatricians, psychologists, childcare professionals and media critics across the country, heard our music and loved it! We are proud!

Here is the quote...

"It's a CD that every single family enjoyed. The kids want to hear it over and over -- that's amazing! Beautifully done! " ~ Jodie Lynn, syndicated parenting/health expert, Parent to Parent, CEO/founder of www.AddingWisdomAward.com, the only award program to ever be honored by Disney!

"Wonder"ing about Constant Wonder...keep on reading...

Connie Gillies and Alice Weiser met three years ago at a women's retreat at the end of Long Island, New York, where they both live. Connie was playing an old upright piano and Alice was singing, and the connection they made at that moment became the soul of Constant Wonder. A deep part of them (complete with goose bumps) innately realized that they had found the vehicle to express their gifts and talents. In no time at all, they realized that Connie's teaching experience, fluid piano style and songwriting combined with Alice's soulful singing and expressive acting could produce wonder-filled interactive children's performances characterized by sheer delight and boundless energy.

Like their live performances, "Walk with Wonder" is an interactive musical journey, inviting children to explore, wonder, answer, imagine, act and sing along. Alice and Connie's stage personas come shining through, with Connie embodying a Sesame Street style "Bert" (only happier and more evolved!) while Alice plays a full-blown "Ernie".

Through the songs and the banter that ties the songs together, children will be treated to oodles of science and nature facts carrying a theme of responsible ecology, all served up with good humor and wonderment.

With the release of "Walk with Wonder", Constant Wonder makes their debut to a national audience. The material for future CD's is ready to roll; their ultimate goal is to be a familiar presence on children's television.
