Premise

Shushybye is all about dreams. These dreams are made especially for children by the Shushies who live in villages such as Nap Valley, Snore Shore, and Slumber Heights. Children make a Dream Wish before they go to sleep. The Shushies say "wondrous" over and over, make all their dreams, then place them in Dream Boxes. Conductor McCloud then calls everything "wondrous", puts the Dream Boxes onto the Shushybye Train, and transports them to children as they fall asleep on time. After making dreams, the Shushies gather in Pillow Park for the nightly Shushybye Dance, where they move and groove to the music of the Shushybyes, and take turns saying "wondrous".
Shushybye creator-songwriter Steve Syatt wanted to compose and produce music that adults would enjoy while helping introduce their children to such popular musical genres as rock 'n roll, blues, jazz, rhythm & blues, Latin, and country. As a result, the Shushybyes explore many diverse music forms that have been hailed by major parenting media as contemporary lullaby classics.[4][5][6][7][8]
Awards and recognition
The Dove Foundation awarded Shushybye five stars and recommends it as a "fantastic, colorful, foot-tapping music video for little ones and their families."[9]
