Summary

"Words burn bright in this joyful celebration of rap, creativity, and self-expression. Welcome to the cypher! Now huddle up nice and snug. You feel that circle around you? Well, that's a hip hop hug! Starting with beatboxes and fingersnaps, an exuberant narrator introduces kids in his community to the powerful possibilities of rap, from turning a simple phrase into imagery that soars to proclaiming, this is a voice that represents me! As Khodi Dill's rhymes heat up, the diverse crew of kids illustrated in Awuradwoa Afful's bold, energetic style gain self-confidence and a sense of freedom in this wonderful picture book debut that is perfect for reading aloud."--, Provided by publisher
