Nursery Rhymes For Kinder Times is an imaginative collection of songs from Raffi and Lindsay Munroe offering a fresh, whimsical, and tender take on classic nursery rhymes including "Three Blind Mice" (reimagined as "Three Kind Mice"), "Ring Around the Rosie" ("Ring Around Sweet Roses"), and "London Bridge Is Falling Down" ("London Rain Is Falling Down"). The concept behind the album came from Pam Gittleman, a preschool music teacher of more than 20 years and a member of the 2020/2021 Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative. In her classroom, Gittleman noticed that her young students were increasingly unfamiliar with traditional nursery rhymes. "It came as no surprise that young parents, teachers, and caregivers were avoiding these rhymes because so many of them are inappropriate and outdated for today's children," she says. Gittleman sought to do better for younger generations by revitalizing classic rhymes with updated lyrics that not only nurture a sense of caring and compassion, but also promote social and emotional intelligence.
