Shushybye is an original dream-themed entertainment brand for preschoolers, encompassing a national television series on BabyFirst, a series of bedtime storybooks from St. Martin’s Press, toys and plush dolls, music CD’s, DVD’s and sleepwear.[1][2][3] New episodes of Shushybye are planned to air on Babyfirst TV in January 2013 with a new group of characters known as The Dreamsters joining the cast of Shushybye.

Shushybye is all about dreams. These dreams are made especially for children by the Shushies who live in villages such as Nap Valley, Snore Shore and Slumber Heights. Children make their Dream Wish before they go to sleep. The Shushies say wondrous over and over, make all their dreams, then place them in Dream Boxes. Conductor McCloud then calls everything wondrous, puts the Dream Boxes onto the Shushybye Train, and transports them to children as they fall asleep on time. After making dreams, the Shushies gather in Pillow Park for the nightly Shushybye Dance, where they move and groove to the music of the Shushybyes, and take turns saying wondrous.

Premise

Shushybye has received numerous positive reviews for both its storybook and concert DVDs from LA Parent, the Los Angeles Times, Las Vegas Family, and Ventura County Parent. iParenting has honored Shushybye with its “Greatest Product” Award. The Dove Foundation has awarded Shushybye with five stars and recommends it as a “fantastic, colorful, foot-tapping music video for little ones and their families.”[4]

Shushybye creator-songwriter Steve Syatt wanted to compose and produce music that adults would enjoy – while helping introduce their children to such popular musical genres as rock ‘n roll, blues, jazz, rhythm & blues, Latin and country. As a result, The Shushybyes explore many diverse music forms that have been hailed by major parenting media as contemporary lullaby classics.[5][6][7][8][9]
