Musician. Author. Speaker.

Cosgrove’s ten family albums have earned critical acclaim and an impressive collection of national parenting awards, including eight Parents’ Choice Awards and two NAPPA Gold Awards. Now families can read and sing along with three children’s books based on his beloved songs, Bop Bop Dinosaur, Hark! It’s Harold the Angel, and Sullen Sally. (2020) And all readers will love the newest picture book, Hiccup Pickup’s Happy Halloween! (2025)

Cosgrove has books for grown-up fans too. Everybody Gets Stinky Feet is a collection of essays from his years as a parenting columnist for The Kansas City Star.  And his true-crime memoir, Ripple (yes, seriously) is available on audio platforms or in paperback.

Inspirational Speaker

Through his own educational journey as a children’s musician and author, Jim discovered that children have much to teach adults about communicating, attaining goals, and living in the present. Now he’s bringing these child-inspired lessons to grown-up audiences to live a more joy-filled life. Jim believes “what’s effective for success on the playground is effective for success in the boardroom.”
