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. After its success, he recognized his fun songs could be adapted into books to help children read. Favourite songs were then printed in booklets, which were illustrated by the children \u003cspan class=\"atm_keep-reading-flag\"\u003e\u003csmall\u003e\u003ci class=\"fa fa-arrow-down\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/span\u003ethemselves or by older students—as a result, the children had instant books that they could use at their own level of proficiency. This led to the publication of \u003ci\u003eDown by the Bay\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eShake My Sillies Out\u003c\/i\u003e, followed by other titles in the Songs to Read series. 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\u003eMaple Lam\u003c\/strong\u003e is an author-illustrator originally from Hong Kong and now based in Los Angeles, California.
