The Band in Our Basement

In this rollicking, rhyming picture book, a pair of siblings who are supposed to be in bed discover a jazz band playing in their basement After hearing Daddys band practicing in the basement, a brother and sister cant resist sneaking out of bed to watch them play. Careful, careful, cant be caught. Tiptoe past the squeaky spot! They long to join in the fun, but cant be seen out of beduntil the discovery of a surprise band member turns the jam session into a family affair. With an energetic, lyrical text from award-winning author Kelly J. Baptist and exuberant illustrations from Jenin Mohammed, The Band in Our Basement will have readers feeling the beatright before settling back down for bedtime. The sounds downstairs are funky and we start to wiggle toes. We flip-flop and we giggle with sheets up to the nose. The rhythms steady, the trumpets sweet. Before too long, were on our feet!
