Series Overview: From Canada’s beloved trio of children’s entertainers comes a series of picture books based on their iconic songs. 

SHARON HAMPSON, the late LOIS LILLENSTEIN (d. 2015) and BRAM MORRISON are some of Canada’s most famous children’s performers, with fans across North America and around the world. The trio, known simply as Sharon, Lois and Bram, formed in Toronto in 1978 and went on to create two top-rated children’s television shows, The Elephant Show (CBC/Nickelodeon, 1984-88) and Skinnamarink TV (CBC/TLC, 1997-98), and to release 21 full-length albums (many of which reached gold, platinum, double platinum and triple platinum). They have won countless awards and were appointed to the Order of Canada in 2002. In 1998 they performed at the UN General Assembly and in 1994 they performed at the White House Annual Easter Egg Roll and Hunt. They also performed a run at the renowned Palace Theater on Broadway.  In 2018, Sharon and Bram celebrated their 40th anniversary. After Bram’s retirement in 2019, Sharon and her daughter, Randi, continue to entertain children and share their message of love. They are authors of the picture books for One Elephant Went Out to Play and Skinnamarink, which was a national bestseller.
