Project Overview

Rachael Kroog is a performance artist/singer/songwriter/naturalist who has built her life around reading inspiring books which have been the foundation for making her dreams come true. Using interactive music, comedy, her sidekick puppet, Squeaky Bird, and a couple of live animals, she will challenge children to create their own lives of beauty by following their dreams. Her high energy and fast paced shows also draw upon her captivating storytelling and theatrical techniques. Her various themes include: the power of kindness, the value of respect, our spiritual connection to the earth and its animals, and the ability to make our dreams come true.
