Music and literature were very much a part of Raffi’s own childhood, leading to his interest in learning the guitar as a teenager. In 1970 he began his career as a performer in local music spots and later transitioned to performing music for children. As his career progressed, Raffi realized there wasn’t quality recorded music for children. He then recorded and released \u003ci\u003eSingable Songs for the Very Young\u003c\/i\u003e.

In 1998, Raffi published his first book for adults—an autobiography detailing the story of his unique life and career, including his efforts to blend respect for both children and the natural world, in order to work toward a child-honouring society.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAshley Wolff\u003c\/strong\u003e  is the author and\/or illustrator of over 55 children’s picture books including\u003ci\u003e I Love My Mommy Because \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eI Love My Daddy Because, Stella and Roy Go Camping, Me Baby, You Baby, The Wild Little Horse, Who Took the Cookies from the Cookie Jar?, I Call My Grandma Nana \u003c\/i\u003eand the beloved \u003ci\u003e Miss Bindergarten Series.\u003c\/i\u003e Her books have won numerous state and national awards.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-product-specs__item\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__item--Format\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__label\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__label--Format\"\u003eAuthor: Raffi (Canadian!)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-product-specs__item\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__item--Format\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__label\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__label--Format\"\u003eIllustrator: Ashley Wolff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-product-specs__item\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__item--Format\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__label\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__label--Format\"\u003eSeries: Raffi Songs to Read\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-product-specs__item\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__item--Format\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__label\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__label--Format\"\u003eFormat: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__value\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__value--Format\"\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-product-specs__item\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__item--ProductDimensionsLabel\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__label\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__label--ProductDimensionsLabel\"\u003eProduct dimensions: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003e32 pages, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-product-specs__item\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__item--ReleaseDate\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__label\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__label--ReleaseDate\"\u003ePublished: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMarch 17, 1992\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-product-specs__item\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__item--PublishedBy\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__label\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__label--PublishedBy\"\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__value\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__value--PublishedBy\"\u003eDragonfly Books\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail-product-specs__item\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__item--PublishedBy\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"detail-product-specs__value\" data-a8n=\"detail-product-specs__value--PublishedBy\"\u003eRecommended for ages 0-5.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46517904408832,"sku":"9780517583623","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/1937\/9100\/files\/9780517583623.jpg?v=1742593111","url":"https:\/\/playfulmindstoys.ca\/products\/pb-raffi-songs-to-read-baby-beluga-ages-3","provider":"Playful Minds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
