Ms. Rachels debut album is coming to Yoto: How to preorder for Christmas
TL;DR: Ms. Rachel and Mr. Aron’s debut studio album I’m So Happy arrives on the screen-free Yoto audio platform on Nov. 12, packing all 23 tracks onto a physical card ahead of the holiday season.
If you live with a toddler, Ms. Rachel’s catchy melodies and speech-development tunes are probably already the permanent soundtrack in your home. Between their massive YouTube following and a hit Netflix series, Rachel and Aron Accurso have basically become honorary members of millions of households. The only real catch was that letting your toddler pick the songs usually meant giving up your phone screen.
That changes this holiday season. Interactive children’s audio company Yoto announced that I’m So Happy, the couple’s debut studio album, will land in Yoto’s physical library starting Nov. 12. Marking the first time Ms. Rachel’s music is available on a dedicated kid-friendly audio platform, the physical card is available for preorder on the official Yoto website for $14.99.
All 23 tracks on a screen-free smart card
The I’m So Happy card packs every single one of the record’s 23 tracks into a physical smart card that little hands can control themselves. When the record first came out, it quickly became an absolute staple for families, dominating the children’s music charts.
Executive-produced by Rachel and Aron alongside Grammy-winning producer Scott Riesett, the tracklist includes viral fan favorites such as “I Love a Rainbow,” “Big Feelings,” “I Could Be Your Friend,” “Icky Sticky Bubblegum,” and “Hop Little Bunnies.” It also features fresh arrangements of classic playground staples like “Old MacDonald” and “The Wheels on the Bus,” as well as early-learning jams like “Phonics” and “Counting to 20!”
Kids simply slide the card into the slot on any Yoto player to start the audio, so they can jump, clap, and sing along without holding a fragile smartphone.
Yoto Mini vs. Yoto Player 4th Gen
The card is backward-compatible with every generation of Yoto hardware (and works inside the free Yoto mobile app), but if you do not own a device yet, Yoto’s latest fourth-generation lineup covers two distinct use cases.
If your family is often on the move, the Yoto Mini (4th Gen) is built specifically for strollers, car rides, and road trips. It features a rugged, puddle-proof exterior, up to 16 hours of battery life on a single charge, and enough internal memory to store over 1,000 hours of audio offline.
In the box, you get the player, a USB-C charging cable, a Welcome / Make Your Own card, a free digital Journey Jams card, and free access to Yoto Daily and Yoto Radio streams.
For everyday listening around the house, the full-sized Yoto Player (4th Gen) is designed to stay parked on a nightstand or shelf; it swaps the ultra-compact frame for richer stereo sound, an integrated full-panel nightlight, and a built-in “okay-to-wake” clock face that helps little ones learn when morning has arrived.
Like the Mini, it ships with a USB-C cable, a Make Your Own card, access to Yoto Daily and Yoto Radio, and a free 5 Minute Stories From Around the World digital card.
You can preorder the I’m So Happy card for $14.99 before it lands on doorsteps Nov. 12. If you are looking to get a jump on holiday shopping, pairing it with a player is pretty much a guaranteed win for any toddler house.
