A friendly narwhal leads Nathan and Peanut Butter Jim down into Lake Alele, where a magical Ukulele Festival is about to begin. Lake creature musicians from all over gather beneath the water to play music together and celebrate the joyful sound of the ukulele.

When the festival host, a mermaid named Isabel, welcomes them and invites Nathan to join the music, a swirling jellyfish storm suddenly arrives, putting a damper on the celebration.

In this stories for kids podcast episode, Nathan must figure out a way to save the festival. With Peanut Butter Jim leading the rhythm, they begin to strum and sing together. Slowly the jellyfish start drifting with the music, glowing in perfect rhythm and lighting up the entire lake like living lanterns.

The festival continues brighter than ever, and Nathan learns that music can bring people together even when things do not go as planned.

🎵 This episode features the original Nighttime Nathan song "Me and My Ukulele" 🎵
