About the Collaboration
Allison DeSalvo, of World of Song (WOS), is a singer-songwriter and an educator whose music for young children gives back. The new single and music video launches on June 9th as a fundraiser for Save-A-Turtle of the Florida Keys (S.A.T.). a volunteer 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and protection of sea turtles. Sherri Crilly, Vice President and volunteer provided the "swimming loggerhead" footage for the video. The song and video will support their 'educational trailer' outreach programs for children and adults. Families have the opportunity to ‘help kids help’ by downloading the song via streaming outlets and by sharing the video to help raise awareness.
Inspiration for the Song and Empowering Kids
I wrote, "Turtle My Friend" in 2012, after watching the documentary, The City Dark by Ian Cheney about ‘light pollution and the disappearance of the night sky’. The beauty of these ancient creatures was deeply moving to me. It was especially poignant to see how just-hatched baby loggerhead turtles follow the light of the stars on the water to navigate from the shore to the ocean, and how artificial light causes disorientation impacting their survival.
Allison hopes children will feel connected to these resilient reptiles that have been around since the time of the dinosaurs, and that their concern will crossover to other threatened animals around the world. She believes children can be empowered to be a part of the solution by learning ways to reduce human impact on earth from an early age.
Turtle My Friend will be on Allison’s 2nd album, It’s A Beautiful World, to be released this fall.
