Each song is an upbeat combination of music and lyrics that can help kids learn more about Social Town, the sneaky Unthinkables, and training at the Superflex Academy to help them seek their "Hero Inside". It was an honor to have our songs written by three-time Emmy nominated songwriters, Michael and Patty Silversher, known for their work writing children's songs for Disney and for the Jim Henson Muppets. Music and lyrics are based on the concepts and characters in the original Superflex curriculum created by Stephanie Madrigal and Michelle Garcia Winner.
