Description

Move The Crowd as a children's picture book is truly as wondrous as it sounds. -Exclusive Magazine

With knowledge of self, there's nothing I can't solve

At 360 degrees I revolve

This is actual fact, it's not an act, it's been proven

Indeed and I proceed to make the crowd keep moving . . .

Innovative illustrator Kirk Parrish brings the iconic song "Move the Crowd" to life for the first time as a children's picture book. The lyrics to Eric B. and Rakim's hit song provide the inspiration for this instant classic.

Follow along as Parrish pairs the lyrics with colourful illustrations about a boy being absorbed into his stereo and dropped into a colourless world where the music is dull and the people uninspired. The ensuing transformation he brings to the crowd with his music is one that the whole family can enjoy together.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Move The Crowd delightfully captures a young Black boy's passion for music, illustrating his journey from reality into a vibrant world where the beats and lyrics of rap music come alive. His adventure transforms a dull, colourless space into a lively, rhythmic dance party, engaging other children and introducing them to the beauty of great beats and sounds. The book is praised for its lively, graffiti-inspired illustrations and dynamic storytelling, evoking nostalgia for the 80s with bright depictions of boom boxes and break-dancing.
