Ellis Paul

Today Ellis Paul treats young listeners and their parents to a one-hour concert of songs from The Dragonfly Races, his first family album and an NPR Top Ten pick. Ellis's songs for children bubble with buoyant, hummable melodies that appeal to families, accompanied by lyrics that empower children to be involved with their world. He evokes a fanciful world where dragonflies race in the meadow and chameleons March on Washington, DC. While the lyrics take listeners on a socially conscious adventure, the overall feeling is one of delightful whimsy and fun.
