To celebrate my 2 year anniversary of the April Eight Songs & Stories Podcast, I’m looking back at some of the fun we had together with the first stories from the Jemi Series. I wrote a sweet, silly “Fairy Birthday Song” for the “Jemi and the Strawberry Moon” story for all the fairies to sing to their Queen at the end of the tale. You can listen to the whole story and song here or anywhere that you listen to podcasts. And I’ve also written out the guitar tabs so that anyone can play along. It is easy!
Now for a little excerpt from my Instagram… Hope you like it!
Here are all the words and the guitar chords too, in case you want to sing it at home with your littles or with yourself. I won’t tell. Happy Fairy Birthday!
