The Band in Our Basement by Kelly J Baptist

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 The sounds downstairs are funky and we start to wiggle toes. We flip-flop and we giggle with sheets up to the nose. The rhythm’s steady, the trumpet’s sweet. Before too long, we’re on our feet! After hearing Daddy’s band practicing in the basement, a brother and sister can’t resist sneaking out of bed to watch them play. Careful, careful, can’t be caught. Tiptoe past the squeaky spot! They long to join in the fun, but can’t be seen out of bed—until 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 beat—right before settling back down for bedtime.
