Kelly J. Baptist is the award-winning author of many books for kids, including The Swag Is in the Socks, which won the 2022 Midland Authors Award for Children’s Fiction; her middle-grade novel, Ready, Set, Dough; and The Electric Slide and Kai, which won the Lee and Low New Voices Honor. Baptist lives in Southwest Michigan with her five amazing children, and practices Kobe Bryant’s Mamba Mentality every day! Jenin Mohammed grew up in sunny (but mostly rainy) south Florida. She loves kittens (even though she is allergic to them), roller coasters, and scary movies. Above all else, Mohammed enjoys traveling to different places and teaching kids how to embrace their inner artist.***STARRED REVIEW***<br /> "Mohammed’s luminous artwork shapes the story with superb visual storytelling...This joyous book will be a hit at any music-themed storytime and certainly will be on repeat as bedtime draws near."<br />
