Meet Tish on the Tim Ferriss podcast
Hi everyone, Tish Rabe here! I am very proud to share that I wrote two of the most popular VHS tapes of all time for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
In 1993, I had just finished writing all the lyrics for the children's show the Fox Kids Cubhouse, and was asked by Christopher Films to write the songs for both videos. I used public domain melodies like "I've Been Working on the Railroad" to write the songs, and have always been pleased by how many fans of the Turtles reach out to me to tell me they love the videos. My song from We Wish You a Turtle Christmas, "Gotta Get a Gift for Splinter", was just used in the trailer for the new Turtles movie from Paramount Pictures!
Every day you'll discover it's easy to find
ways to share, show you care, and be friendly and kind.
We all share one world that is spinning in space,
and, together, we can make it a wonderful place.
New Release!
Tish Rabe is excited to announce the release of her new book, Kindness is Caring, Friendship is Sharing.
Tish wrote this beautiful, rhyming storybook in partnership with Trumbull Connecticut Rotary Club. Rotary is a worldwide organization dedicated to making the world a kinder, gentler place. The book includes a fun, sing-along song and celebrates friendship, sharing and caring for others at a time when the world has never needed it more.
The story is set in the African plains and introduces a little zebra named Amani (Amani means "peace" in Swahili), who is learning how to care for others and have others care about her. Every page glows with illustrations by African artist, Moka Celess.
