About this listen

From the award-winning musical duo Tim and Laura Battersby comes a delightfully whimsical journey through childhood, imagination, and lyrical mischief.

The Stories Behind the Songs brings to life twenty original songs—each transformed into a short story filled with heart, humor, and just the right amount of chaos. Whether it’s a quiet cat who turns out to be a cow (Buttercup the Bovine), a bubble-loving tornado of energy (I Love Bubbles), or a heroic battle against the nightly menace known as The Bedtime Bug, each chapter captures the spirit of a song and spins it into a fully imagined tale.

Playful, poetic, and occasionally profound, these stories are perfect for listening together, giggling under the covers, or revisiting again and again. At its core, this collection celebrates the simple joys of family life, the boundless power of imagination, and the music that lives in every moment—whether you’re chasing bubbles, dodging bath-time rubber ducks, or singing about tacos and jellybeans.

Funny, heartfelt, and endlessly charming, The Stories Behind the Songs is a book for dreamers, dancers, and anyone who knows that the best stories often begin with a tune.
