This is not the first time one of my books has inspired a song or even a play but this is the most recent.
This makes my day! Makes me want to dance. Fills me with joy.
I think I will go listen again!
Check out the music and short video written and produced by school Terry Hess.

Here is what she has to say about the production:
I was truly inspired by your wonderful book. My elementary music classes looked at the illustrations, and then assisted in coming up with the sentences, as the book was read to them. Your book was highlighted at King throughout Lower School, as required reading:)Keeniun Brunskill who is the male singer, is an African American History teacher who was also a part of the fundraising campaign for Haiti.
Some kids are just so lucky to have the best teachers! Authors are just so lucky to have the best readers.
Thanks Terry and readers at King Lower School! And now I am going to play this again, again and do a little dance!
