    One-third of the five-time Grammy Award-winning folk group Peter, Paul, and Mary, social activist Peter Yarrow wrote some of the most iconic songs that the group recorded, including ''Puff, The Magic Dragon,'' ''Day is Done,'' and ''Light One Candle.'' In collaboration with his daughter Bethany, Yarrow continues to bring the joy of folk music to a new generation in his collection of songbooks for children, which include Sleepytime Songs, Favorite Folk Songs, and the forthcoming Songs to Sing Together.

    Peter Yarrow performs on the Target Children's Stage.
