John
Farrell is a singer, songwriter, author,
and peace educator. He has recorded six
CDs of songs and stories. John wrote
songs for and starred in “The
Great Earth Sing Along,”
which received a Parents Choice Silver
Honor Award and a Dove Foundation Award.
John has done presentations at over a
thousand schools from Japan to Ukraine to
Spain to South Africa, and all across
North America. He has been a keynote and
featured presenter at conferences around
the world including the
International Reading Association,
the European Council
of International Schools,
the Tokyo Early
Childhood Association
and many others.
His songs and stories focus on living
peacefully, appreciating the natural
world, and promoting literacy. He lives
in Hillsdale, New York, with his wife,
Ann Marie (a kindergarten teacher). They
have five children, and spend time each
summer at a family farmhouse on Prince
Edward Island, Canada. John is an avid
bicyclist, reader, and writer. He stopped
watching television many years ago and
encourages families to spend more time
talking, singing and reading together and
less time with plugs in their ears and
screens in front of their faces.
John is the founder of “Bridges
of Peace and
Hope,” an
international program to promote
understanding through writing and the
arts. He is the author of two Boyd’s
Mills Press picture books "It's
Just a Game,"
and “Stargazer’s
Alphabet.”
John’s third book “Dear
Child,” will
be published in 2008.
John’s new CD, “All
Around Us,”
includes engaging, clever, upbeat songs
about science and nature. There are
opportunities to participate on every
song and the CD features three bonus
Sing, Write and Learn Songwriting Tracks
that enable families, students, and
teachers to create and perform their own
songs using John’s melodies and
delightful accompaniments arranged by
Grammy winning keyboard player Jeff
Miller.
