My Green Kite Artist: Peter Himmelman

Peter Himmelman's fourth family recording, "My Green Kite," showcases Himmelman's sense of humor and his notable ability to see things from a kid's point of view. In "Maybe is a Bad Word," Himmelman remembers just how annoying the word "maybe" can be when it's uttered by an adult. In "My Father's an Accountant." Himmelman explores the feelings of a kid who has a dad with a boring profession. It's all done with tongue-in-cheek and a wink and a nudge to the adults, yet with themes that connect with kids of all ages. Of course, Himmelman's penchant for a good pop hook doesn't hurt either.
