Mizzemos Kinderliedjes

Mizzemos Kinderliedjes is the musical project of Maaike van der Haar, who creates gentle and thoughtful songs and stories for young children. The name "Mizzemos" is a childhood nickname given to Maaike by her father, and under this name, she shares music and (listening) stories inspired by the everyday experiences and rich imagination of her own children. Her songs focus on emotions, nature, and everyday moments, crafted with attention to detail and an emphasis on calm, low-stimulation melodies that resonate with toddlers and preschoolers. Maaike, a mother living in the Groningen countryside, also weaves themes of connected parenting and neurodivergence into her work, offering a warm and relatable musical experience for families.

Her work has been well received by parents and educators alike, praised for its heartfelt, clever lyrics and soothing melodies that stand apart from typical children's music. Maaike’s songs often come with visual accompaniments on YouTube, featuring charming photos and illustrations that engage young listeners further. Favorites include narrative songs like the "Rinkel en Saar" stories and gentle tunes such as "Vogeltje" and "Kleine ster," making her a beloved artist among families seeking meaningful and accessible music for their little ones.
