DEBUT PROJECT RELEASES OCT. 4TH
“Cassie Byram has created a wonderful teaching tool for young people. Learning the Word of God and biblical principles in a fun way is sure to be a great blessing to your children.” – Kathie Lee Gifford, television host, actress, singer and author
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Sept. 28, 2016) – In association with Oodles World, award-winning actress, singer and songwriter, Cassie Byram, is planting God’s Word in children’s hearts with the release of TreasureToons on October 4. This whimsical animated series of sing-along videos is aimed at enabling young children to memorize Bible verses. The first installment in the TreasureToons brand will be available exclusively for digital download at iTunes and on DVD at www.TreasureToons.com.
TreasureToons is a family endeavor, inspired by Byram’s Lifetime Scripture Songs album, “WONDERFULLY MADE” and produced in collaboration with her husband, Amick Byram (Grammy and Emmy nominated singing/actor) and their musically talented adult sons. Together, the Byram’s have crafted a series of colorful lyric videos filled with memorable songs, friendly characters and an animated world that children will want to explore over and over again.
“My main goal is to add value to people’s lives,” Byram shares. “I want to help children know how loved they are by God while teaching them to love God and others by introducing them to Scripture in a fun and easy way. The Scripture songs I’ve written, along with the TreasureToons project, are my way of blending faith and career through animation. One of the greatest gifts for me personally was collaborating on these projects with my sons and my husband.”
Loaded with more than 50 minutes of delightful entertainment, combined with original music from world-class musicians, these videos use lyrics straight from the Bible. Every song on the TreasureToons DVD is beautifully animated to match the message of each particular Scripture verse and capture the imagination and attention of small children.
TreasureToons has been approved by the prestigious Dove Foundation, which awarded the DVD “5 out of 5 stars.” In addition, TreasureToons has already received critical praise from a host of high-profile supporters:
“Singing is a tried and true way to hide the Word of God in our children’s hearts, and TreasureToons is a gem of a fun way to do just that!” — Martha Williamson, executive producer and creator, “Touched By An Angel”
“I am so excited about TreasureToons by Cassie Byram. If you have children this is a must; but be forewarned, for it will be in your heart as well.” — Kay Arthur, co-founder, Precept Ministries International
“What Cassie Byram and her team have created with TreasureToons is a fantastic way for young children to learn the Word of God. It’s never too early to instill Scripture in our children, and what better way than through music? I’d recommend this DVD to any parent!” — Robert Morris, founding senior pastor, Gateway Church; and bestselling author of “The Blessed Life,” “Truly Free” and “Frequency”
