Innovative illustrator Kirk Parrish brings the iconic song "Move the Crowd" to life for the first time as a children's picture book.

"'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 colorful illustrations about a boy being absorbed into his stereo and dropped into a colorless 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.

      Gr 1-3-A young Black boy's passion for beats and lyrics comes alive as he expresses his thoughts by listening to spoken words through his boombox. In this entry in the "LyricPop" series, readers see how a beat can inspire someone to move the crowd, inspired by the lyrics of the rap duo Eric B & Rakim. The boy's imagination comes alive as he draws everyone into the beat, into the rap, into the musical vortex that takes him to another world where he explains the importance of great beats and sounds to other children and introduces them to the party of perfect rhymes, lyrics, and sensation. Parrish's wonderful drawings, a version of graffiti fused with a narrative arc, show an array of colorful words that seem to jump off the page. VERDICT Rap music is a story, perfectly suited to the picture book form, and this book is sure to move the crowd.-Annmarie Braithwaite, New York P.L., New York City
