John “JP” Taylor is the creator and producer of the children's educational music series "Singin' Songs of Science" used in classrooms all over the world. He has taught in England and Switzerland as well the U.S. He has also written and produced several albums and music videos of environmental-themed songs in support of various conservation efforts including the Orang Utan Republik Foundation, and his song “Save ‘em“, along with another by rock legend Sting, was featured on the album “Tree for Peace, Tree for the Earth“ supporting Outward Bound Monaco. Taylor is a long time advocate for the environment and protection of the natural world. He recently began a campaign to bring high-interest nonfiction books on nature to younger readers and pre-readers. Recognizing all children love animals, he is a firm believer that more age-appropriate nonfiction picture books can encourage and reinforce their desire to learn more about, and protect our natural world.
