We are in a Kid's Halloween Bundle with It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown by Loud Crow. This is an amazing project — it has the original music and voices and everything!
Find the Kid's Halloween Bundle from Loud Crow here!
We are also partnered with a great app from the Bramble Berry Tales — The Story of Kalkalilh, a really wonderful and award-winning app inspired by a traditional story of the Squamish nation and aims to teach and preserve the Squamish language. Something that we feel very strongly about supporting. Thank-you, Loud Crow!
