About the Book

Inspired by Corinne Bailey Rae's award-winning hit song, this picture book celebrates music's unique power to soothe or energize us when we need it most.

"A feel-good hymn to fine music and intergenerational bonds."—Kirkus Reviews


"Today I'd like to do something I've never done before," Bea tells her great aunt Portia during one of their Sunday visits. And before she knows it, she's being led upstairs to an attic room she didn't know existed—a wonderful haven full of Portia's cherished items, including shelf after shelf of records. "There’s a song here for every emotion—for the whole rainbow of feelings," Portia tells Bea. Then they listen together, dancing to a celebration song, laughing along with a circus-happy song, and feeling held by a song that comforts them during a thunderstorm. Bea heads home at the end of the day, excited to continue learning about herself and her world through music.

Corinne Bailey Rae's “Put Your Records On” is a multi-platinum anthem about freedom and joy. Now, in this beautiful storybook, the Grammy Award-winning musician brings that empowerment and exuberance to children.

About the Author :
British singer/songwriter/musician Corinne Bailey Rae was born and still lives in Leeds, England. She shot to stardom with her self-titled #1 debut album in 2006, featuring the global hits "Put Your Records On" and "Like A Star." Over the course of her career she has released four critically acclaimed studio albums and earned two Grammy Awards, two MOBOS, an NAACP Image Award, and been nominated for multiple awards including the BRITs, Mercury Music Prize, and BET Awards. She has collaborated with a wide range of artists including Mary J. Blige, Al Green, Herbie Hancock, Paul McCartney, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Questlove, RZA, Stevie Wonder, Tracey Thorn, Pharrell, and many more. She and her husband have two daughters.

Gillian Eilidh O’Mara was born and raised in Scotland. A self-taught artist with a master's degree from the University of St. Andrews, she has illustrated several children's books, including The Night Whale by Bryher Mackenzie, and has co-founded several social ventures, including a poetry festival, children’s literacy projects, and a tea company supporting girls’ education. She lives in Durham, England, where she wanders the countryside with her two daughters and their boisterous dog.

Review :
"A feel-good hymn to fine music and intergenerational bonds."—Kirkus

"Singer-songwriter Rae draws from her 2006 song to offer readers a story that beautifully depicts a strong cross-generational relationship between Bea and Portia, showing the ways that little ones learn from their elders and find joy in their moments together. The lush, dynamic art highlights movement and play, with soft sunlight shining through the window, bright blooms in the garden, colorful boas floating around, and Portia’s angelic, multicolored, gossamer-esque robe sweeping through the pages. This is an ideal choice for a musical storytime or an aunt and niece lapsit." —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books


"Bailey Rae crafts a warm, intergenerational story that captures how music evokes emotion and memory. O’Mara’s mixed-media illustrations portray sunshine and joy with subtle references to the story’s inspiration that are sure to tickle adult music fans. There is something eye-catching on every page. A welcome addition to any picture book collection."—School Library Journal
