She has appeared in numerous musical theatre productions, including two award-winning one-woman shows at the NYC Solo Festival. She is also a lively and engaging children's entertainer.

Beyond her musical career, Beverley has shared her insights through a TEDx talk on "The Power of Storytelling." She also teaches, offering acting lessons to both kids and adults. In collaboration with her friends Nancy Bradshaw and Michael Creber, Beverley co-wrote and co-composed the songs featured on these albums.

Nancy Bradshaw, PhD, is a concept creator and co-writer on these CDs. Nancy has worked with schools and hundreds of children designing and leading play that promotes social and emotional learning. An award-winning, socially and environmentally innovative entrepreneur working in the nonprofit community, her idea for the Dream Child sprang from her own experience as a mother whose fun-loving child had a minimal interest in going to sleep! Surprised at the time finding no suitable resource, Nancy resolved to create one: a set of story-embedded songs for bedtime that are interesting, fun, and transportive; that seed healthy messages for the subconscious mind to dream on and leave an after-taste of safety and love. She is thrilled with the opportunity to work with two spectacular musicians and is appreciative of the positive feedback from many grateful parents!​​

Our purpose is to provide loving music that fills a child’s heart with a sense of wellbeing and connection, while drifting off into a deep sleep. Our hope is to help generate an emotional awareness and resilience, which can provide a child with a foundation for strong and loving relationships in preparation for a healthy future.
