Through simple, grooving\u2019 lyrics, Pete has been teaching children not to sweat the small stuff. In I Love My White Shoes<\/a>, no matter how he manages to stain his new white shoes, he won\u2019t cry (“Goodness, no!”) he\u2019ll \u201ckeep walking and singing, because it\u2019s all good.\u201d As Pete the Cat loses one groovy button after another in Pete the Cat and His Four Groovy Buttons<\/a>, he doesn\u2019t cry (“Goodness, no!”) because \u201cit simply goes to show that stuff will come and stuff will go,\u201d and you may as well just keep singing.<\/p>\n Young Auditorium and the Early Childhood Conference<\/a> will host performer, composer, and children’s book author Eric Litwin<\/a>, on Friday, April 10, 2015, at 10:00 AM and 12:30 PM for an active, fun performance, sure to have audience members of all ages singing and dancing.
