"Laurie Berkner does what Fred Rogers did: respect, validate and reassure young children."

Laurie is going to try something COMPLETELY NEW this week, and it’s NOT for kids. It’s for FORMER KIDS!! She will be answering questions and singing your favorite Laurie Berkner songs… as long as she can remember them! Put the kids to bed or give them a snack in another room and come enjoy some grownup time together. AND if you guys come and you like it! She’ll do more of them!

(NOTE: We promise this is NOT an April Fools joke! Check out our social media for that …)
