Laura and Robert have created stories and music for PBS KIDS, Sesame Street, the Smithsonian Channel, the Jim Henson Company, NBC Universal and Animal Planet. They recently created the new series Mega Wow on PBS KIDS, designed to get kids get excited about doing science at home. They are also award winning songwriters who wrote the music for the new season of Teletubbies on Netflix, and they have written music for Dinosaur Train, Hero Elementary, Elinor Wonders Why and Splash and Bubbles. Their children’s book, A Pirate’s Quest, won the Midwest Book Award for Best Children’s Picture Book.

Laura and Robert are passionate about the ocean, and they created “The Shark Riddle” film to share the incredible, surprising world of sharks. Their “Great White Shark Song” is a hit with kids and families around the world. They love visiting schools to share their shark assembly, which inspires kids to write and create stories based on the incredible world around them!
