As a therapist and mom, I cannot say enough good things about The Zoo of Emotions. My kids are OBSESSED with the song and book. My toddler specifically keeps asking for it again and again. He loves making all the animal sounds and I love that he’s learning how to identify feelings. It’s a win-win!

There is a LOT of content and it's well worth the money! My students loved these SEL activities and all the extension ideas. Will be using this for years to come.

“Zoo of Emotions” is one of my favorite songs by Narwhals & Waterfalls (I have so many ☺️) and it’s now a book!!! 📚 My preschool class absolutely LOVED “Zoo Of Emotions” 🦁🐧🐶🐬🐰 and I used this song in accompaniment with so many SEL activities. Acting out our emotions helped us all express ourselves, explore our emotions and calm our bodies in morning meeting to start our day as well! ☀️ So many possibilities! I love that it’s now also available in book format!

About Narwhals & Waterfalls
Narwhals & Waterfalls is a Dallas-based acoustic kindie-rock duo formed in September 2018 by singer-songwriters and music educators Paige Bell and Adrien Palmer. Having spent years teaching music, they connected over a shared mission: create SEL (Social-Emotional Learning) resources that students, teachers, and families would actually love.
Their sound is acoustic and approachable. Minimalist kindie-rock that translates effortlessly from studio recording to a single guitar in a classroom. Many songs feature simple movements and prompts that engage the whole body, making learning feel like play. Live shows are participatory events: kids and parents grab shakers, sing along, and help create something unique every time.
N&W's music and resources are now used by thousands of educators, therapists, and families across the country and around the world.
