Song: If You’re Happy That Were Equal Clap Your Hands
(Tune: If you’re happy and you know it)

By: Stacy Almendarez

If you’re happy that were equal clap your hands
If you’re happy that were equal clap your hands
If you’re happy that were equal, then your smile will truly show it
If you’re happy that were equal clap your hands
If you’re happy that were equal, hug a friend
If you’re happy that were equal, hug a friend
If you’re happy that were equal, then your smile will truly show it
If you’re happy that were equal, hug a friend
If you’re happy that were equal, shout “We love everyone”
If you’re happy that were equal, shout “We love everyone”
If you’re happy that were equal, then your smile will truly show it
If you’re happy that were equal, shout “We love everyone”

Creating art is a beautiful thing, and for me I love to see children express themselves through art. This is my reason for creating a song that will allow children to sing, dance, and create art as they send the message ” We welcome diversity”. I feel this is a great way to begin teaching diversity in early childhood.
