Shelley composed three albums of beautiful music designed for use in the classroom. "Quick little songs to help little ears learn lickety-split". In 2008, Shelley came up with the idea of writing a song about peace and sharing it with the entire world so that children everywhere could sing together and Sing Peace Around the World was born.
