-Growing Up Great won a 2020 National Parenting Product Award-

Kim Yarson is an energetic and fun singer-songwriter from NJ. She has been writing songs for 26 years and performing for over 10 years. When Kim became a mom in 2003, she set her musical aspirations aside to raise her first-born son. However, music was always there for her and she began making up songs for her son. Once her second son was born in 2005, the living room became her stage. It was there where she wrote "The Run Song" for her toddlers, which became a fun song asking her boys to walk really slow in a circle while anticipating when they could run, run, run, run, fast in the circle. They loved it!
As time marched on, Kim's desire to perform her original music turned into four albums released over a nine-year period while raising the boys. In addition, she launched several library programs for adults and children in her area, and the children's sing along program became the last one standing when library funding encountered challenges related to the economy. Over the years, Kim developed an understanding on how to perform for kids and what music they love. She resurrected "The Run Song" and composed a new song called "The Shaker Egg Song" and off she went to sing for children as “Miss Kim” for local library programs.
When coronavirus hit in March of 2020, Kim knew it was time to finally do a children's album. Not only did she pen eleven great energetic songs, but she was super excited to embrace some great moral messages like dealing with emotions in "Colors of a Rainbow," working on getting better at doing things like walking or catching a ball in "If You Want To Be Great," along with the very catchy, "Being Kind." Both of her sons, now teenagers, have contributed musically to the album, and Miss Kim has released her first album "Growing Up Great" and two animated videos in October of 2020.
