Tia McGraff, the Simcoe, Ontario-based Canadian folk singer-songwriter, children\u2019s author, and Norfolk Music Hall of Fame inductee, has released her delightful new children\u2019s single \u201cCaterpillar Song\u201d on Bandana Records.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a warm and wonderfully singable kids\u2019 pop anthem that celebrates perseverance, the joy of finding your way home, and the quiet magic of taking life one step at a time. Produced by Tia\u2019s husband and longtime musical partner, Tommy Parham, with keyboards and mixing by Kevin Fisher in California, the song arrives as the perfect companion to Tia\u2019s new middle-grade children\u2019s book In Your Dreams, Jake<\/em>, the second instalment in her beloved Jake the Road Dawg series, which launches this fall.<\/p>\n Tia has described the song as the purest, most joyful songwriting gift of her career, one that arrived in the most organic way imaginable: driving home from an author event at Indigo with Tommy when the melody and lyrics simply came pouring out.<\/p>\n She sang it into her phone and kept it on file for over two years until the timing aligned perfectly with the introduction of a caterpillar character into the new book, a character whose arc of growth and transformation mirrors the song\u2019s own message with the kind of gentle, meaningful precision that has always defined Tia\u2019s best writing.<\/p>\n
