Bill Harley

I discovered Bill Harley when I was in third grade. He's a children's storyteller and songwriter, and he used to play at my elementary school (I imagine he still does). I still have "Monsters in the Bathroom," the first tape of his that I got.

Bill's stories about when he was in elementary school are hilarious and sad and so incredibly real. His songs are smart and funny and easy to sing along with.

And now I'm babysitting for a five- and an eight-year-old, and I've just bought three new albums, and we all listen together. I feel like a little kid!
