Who’s “smooth as a
machine” and can build sandcastles “fit for a queen?” Who can shoot hoops, jump rope, and play just about
anything? It’s
Latifah’s Queen of the Scene, ruling the playground. Queen Latifah wrote this book in her trademark sassy rap style to inspire young people to believe in themselves, to give it their best to be the best. You can feel the girl-power spirit of her lyrics. The illustrations created by Frank Morrison capture the fluid movements of the kids sliding, swinging, and skipping in the park. Read the book aloud yourself, or listen to Queen Latifah deliver the distinguished rhymes herself on the enclosed CD.
