Show me a baby or toddler who doesn't light up like a Christmas light at the very sound of Ms Rachel, and I'll eat my hat.
The American children's entertainer and educator is in the YouTube top searched of most parents-of-very-small children I know for good reason.
If you're new to the phenomena that is Ms Rachel, let me introduce you via this incredibly cute TikTok compilation of babies reacting to her mere 'Hello.'
Known to the adults in her life as Rachel Accurso, the 41-year-old started her YouTube channel in 2019 in response to the lack of resources she discovered on the internet for her son who had a speech delay.
With her masters in music education and her husband's experience as a broadway music director, Songs For Littles was born. It's a children's music channel focusing heavily on language development and toddler learning and it's bright, fun, silly and engaging.
At the time of writing, the channel has nine million subscribers. It became especially popular during COVID while we were all stuck at home desperate for some respite as children *quite literally* started climbing the walls.
In her signature outfit - a pink shirt with overalls and a headband - Ms Rachel sings about 'icky sticky bubblegum' and 'hop little bunnies.' Does cute skits about where to put your shoe, 'Does a shoe go on my head? No...no no no,' and has videos specifically talking infants through how to say words like 'mama' and 'dada.'
