Last Week: Ella Jenkins

Join us on The Children’s Hour as we celebrate the life and legacy of Ella Jenkins, the First Lady of Children’s Music. Ella introduced kids everywhere to the joy of singing, rhythm, and music from different cultures. Her songs, filled with call-and-response, clapping, and playful melodies, have been teaching and inspiring young people for decades.
