Happy Holidays dear friends and families around the world.  ​Yes, it is that wonderful time of the year where we get to enjoy all the yummy treats and our own delicious traditional holiday specialities.  ​Not to forget to pull the Christmas crackers!

​The Koolamundo family would like to share these special moments with you in their animated Koolamundo Christmas song.  Here are a couple of verses for you all to get into the festive mood and have a sing-along with the music video below. :D

A special time for young and old,
Festive trees with flecks of gold,
Hope and spirits are a lift,
Time for love, family and gifts.
 
Christmas bells ring and tinkle,
Lights brightly shine and twinkle,
Baby Jesus in the manger scene,
Stealing a kiss under mistletoe green.
 Chorus
So sing along in the Koolamundo jingle,
Have fun with Alook and old Kris Kringle.
As they joyfully take to the sky,
Oh, such a great sight Oh my oh my oh my.

Apoorva did the animation and Johanna sang the Christmas song both in English and German.  These two wonderful ladies are remarkable and I am honoured that they are part of the Koolamundo family.  We have had a lot of fun with this cool project and look forward to doing more next year.  

Our thoughts and love are with you all during this magical time.  Enjoy your special memories with each other and have a fantastic New Years.  May all your dreams come true for 2017.  

​My ambition to write a book became a reality and I loved working on this fun project, but what about getting the book published?  Oh no, here we go again, so I took a course at the London School of Journalism and did some research on self-publishing.   Wow, what an amazing and exciting world self-publishing is!  We published Klara The Cow Who Knows How To Bow on May 17, 2015 and now have thirty (30) paperback and digital books in publication as of October 2016. Our core language is English, and we translate these books in up to ten (10) other languages over time. The English titles consist of:

1. Klara The Cow Who Knows How To Bow (Friendship Series)
2. Alook’s Dance In France (Travel Series)
3. Luna and Alook’s Funny Food Book (Travel Series)
4. Visit Alook’s Kool Place In Outer Space (Travel Series)
5. Dobby Is So Polite What a Delight (Friendship Series)

​I love the fact that I can travel the globe and be a free thinking digital nomad as an indie author.  I make my own deadlines, create my own stories, work from anywhere in the world and am not put into the creative artist box.  It was scary at first, when I put myself out there in front of the world, with very little guidance. But I am so thankful that I have this wonderful opportunity and platform to share my stories with children and their families through songs, books and videos.
We are almost done with our Klara The Cow Dress-up App. Children will be able to dress-up Klara in their favorite clothes, shoes, eye color, glasses, etc. and even print a nice picture of what they have created. 

​I wrote a Christmas song last year (always something I wanted to do) featuring Alook, which is currently in the studio (for vocals), which we hope to release in December, along with an animated music video. We are also working on Luna and Alook’s Fun Music Book and eventually we plan to release some coloring books for the younger children.
Next year we will be publishing 4-5 more books in multiple languages within both the Travel and Friendship Series. We are also excited about our merchandise line of backpacks, key rings, hats, etc. that which will be launched in 2017.
I could not have done this without the help and support of Kindle Direct Publishing, CreateSpace, and the various social media platforms.  Each day I am learning something new that helps support me as an author, songwriter and artist.  A year and half ago, I never would have thought that I would be publishing my own books and that they would be distributed worldwide in many languages?  #itsakoolworld #PoweredByIndie

Adventure, here we go

Sometimes fast, sometimes slow

Watch me swinging round and round

Miss the tree but not the ground

Alook they call me from afar

My planet’s from a special star


Welcome to the first verse of our new upbeat melody.  We are excited for you to listen to our Koolamundo song.  It’s a Kool Kool world out there and we want you to join in the fun with us.  As you listen to the beat of the drums, sounds of the jungle and forest.  Harmonizing vocals with this upbeat tune.  Grab a dance partner and get your feet moving with Alook as he takes you on his next adventure.
