Tom Chapin is a renowned singer/songwriter, known for music that teaches the young and old. Some of his songs, such as Family Tree, Moonboat, Mother Earth, Billy The Squid, Zag Zig, and a concert video, This Pretty Planet: Tom Chapin Live In Concert, have been recognized with awards from the American Library Association, Parents' Choice, the New York Music Awards, the National Association of Parenting Publications and Parents Magazine.

A collection of environmental songs titled This Pretty Planet also received a Grammy nomination. Great Big Fun for the Very Little One, received the 2002 Parents' Choice Gold Award.

Chapin has also been the host of ABC-TV's Peabody and Emmy Award winning children's show, Make A Wish, and he later hosted National Geographic's Explorer series on TBS. Chapin narrates a series of children's books to benefit the Humane Society of the United States, and reads them aloud to kids at readplay.com on the internet. Another narration, Mama Don't Allow, won a 2002 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children. It was also named a Notable Children's Recording by the American Library Association.
