Notes on Film
“It’s an invaluable experience for the siblings, for they get to feel, see, touch, and experience everything they sing about as they visit each country and explore the different songs. This is one of the best ways to educate and grow artistically. As we travel with them, we get to know them better and understand their dreams, personalities, and growth.
It’s an enchanting series seen from the children’s eyes, which explores themes such as music, family, life, multiculturality, and education.”
