This colorful and engaging picture book helps children identify and express their emotions, which is an essential skill for navigating the complex relationship between the self and the world.
Through vibrant illustrations and simple, relatable language, Parr introduces children to a wide range of emotions, from happiness and excitement to sadness and anger. By encouraging children to explore their inner landscape of feelings, the book promotes emotional intelligence and self-awareness, helping them develop a deeper understanding of their own inner world.
Setting “The Inner World Explorers” to music creates an imaginative way for children to experience the connection between their inner and outer worlds, transforming abstract concepts about perception into a catchy, exploratory tune. The song’s playful idea of experiencing everything “inside out” gives children a simple tool for developing empathy and understanding their relationship with the world around them.
This melodic approach makes mindfulness and connection feel like an exciting adventure rather than a complex concept, providing children with a friendly tune they can recall whenever they want to explore the magic of awareness, helping them develop wonder and interconnectedness through the natural unity that music creates.
Verse 1:
Listen to the whispers, the chirps, and the breeze
Are they out there somewhere, or inside you and me?
Look at all the colors, the shapes that you see
Could they be within you? Let’s turn the world inside out
Pre-Chorus:
It’s a little bit strange, but oh so fun
To flip our perception, till outside and in are one
Chorus:
We’re the Inner World Explorers
Turning everything around
What’s out there is in here
A new world we have found
Sights and sounds and feelings
All playing in our mind
The whole world inside us
What wonders we can find
Verse 2:
Feel the music flowing, not just in your ear
But deep in your body, so close and so near
Now imagine everything, from here to the stars
All happening within you, no matter how far
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
It’s all just a game, a new way to see
How connected we are to all that can be
Inside or outside, it’s all just the same
When we open our minds to this magical game
(Chorus)
Outro:
Open your eyes now, what do you know?
The world’s not just out there, it’s in you, it shows
We’re the Inner World Explorers, and now we can see
The whole universe lives in you and me
While it might sound a little silly or even cheesy, songs are a great way to reinforce business lessons in a fun, memorable way—by tapping into musical and auditory learning styles, they help key concepts stick and support long-term retention in a way that traditional methods often can’t.
Verse 1:
Watch and see what’s going on
Ideate, let your thoughts run
Guess which idea might be best
Which one to choose from all the rest?
Pre-Chorus:
Step by step, we’ll find a way
To make things better every day
Chorus:
It’s WIGWAM magic, can’t you see?
Watch, Ideate, Guess playfully
Which one to try? Act and then
Measure results, start again
WIGWAM magic, it’s so cool
Improvement is our golden rule
Verse 2:
Act on your choice, give it a go
Measure what works, help ideas grow
Back to the start, what did we learn?
New ways to shine at every turn
(Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Sometimes we stumble, that’s okay
Each try teaches us in its own way
Keep on improving, bit by bit
With WIGWAM magic, we won’t quit
(Chorus)
Outro:
WIGWAM magic, here to stay
Making things better, hip-hooray!
