Musical Moments- Brings the Magic of Music and Nature Into Children's Daily Lives

EXETER, U.K. - Oct. 2, 2025 - PRLog -- In a world where screens dominate childhood, Musical Moments offers a refreshing alternative: a beautifully illustrated children's book that teaches kids to hear and feel the music hidden in everyday life. Now live on Kickstarter, the project is capturing the attention of parents, educators, and music lovers who believe childhood should be filled with wonder, creativity, and discovery.

Created by Mike Marks, educator and founder of The Sounds of Learning, Musical Moments is more than a storybook,  it's a tool for nurturing holistic development. Each page is designed to help children explore how sound and music can be found in nature, family routines, and the world around them.

"Music is everywhere — in the wind, in footsteps, in laughter. I wanted to create something that helps children recognize those patterns early, and grow up with curiosity and appreciation for the beauty around them," said Marks.
