3. The animated series is based on the best-selling book series
The animated series is based on Mike Nawrocki’s best-selling children’s book series published by
Tyndale Kids. Squirreled Away, the first book in the series, recently surpassed 100,000 copies
sold, helping introduce families to Merle, Pearl and their humor-filled approach to biblical
storytelling.
Series description:
The Dead Sea Squirrels follows 10-year-old Michael and Merle and Pearl, two squirrels who were
preserved in Dead Sea salt for 2,000 years. After being brought back to Tennessee and
unexpectedly revived, the squirrels use their firsthand knowledge of Jesus’ teachings to help
Michael and his friends navigate modern-day challenges.
4. The soundtrack gives families a screen-free extension of the series
The soundtrack gives families a new way to carry the faith-filled fun and biblical lessons of The
Dead Sea Squirrels into everyday life, from car rides and school drop-off to playtime, family time
and church settings. Across 22 songs, the album reinforces themes children encounter
throughout Season 1 of the animated series, including kindness, honesty and self-control, while also exploring the Nativity, Jesus’ ministry, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection. The result is fun,
memorable music children will want to hear repeatedly, with messages parents can feel good
about reinforcing.
5. Major CCM performers
The soundtrack brings together an impressive lineup of Christian music artists and performers,
including Matthew West, MercyMe’s Bart Millard, Katy Nichole, Ellie Holcomb, Mac Powell of
Third Day, Steve Taylor and three-time GRAMMY Award winner Ashley Cleveland. The album
also features Matthew Ward, Durell Comedy, Mike Nawrocki, Jenny Littleton, Mazzy Mason,
Christopher Bailey, Aaron Armstrong, Rob Howard, Duncan Phillips, Henry O. Arnold, The
Golden Hours and James Weir.
Quote from Mike Nawrocki
(Series creator and voice of Merle Squirrel)
I’m so excited for families to hear The Dead Sea Squirrels Season 1 soundtrack. The songs are fun and super catchy, but they also carry biblical lessons and themes that parents can feel good about. My hope
is that kids will want to sing them again and again, and that the truths in the lyrics will stay with them long after the music stops.”
Quote from Steve Taylor
(Animated series producer, performer and co-writer of “The Dead Sea Squirrels Theme Song”) “One of the joys of The Dead Sea Squirrels has been making music for kids that never feels like an
afterthought. We wanted every song to be funny, memorable and musically strong while still serving the story and the biblical truth at the heart of each episode. Having so many gifted friends lend their voices made the soundtrack even more special.”
