About the Book

Otis Redding's classic song Respect--as popularized by Aretha Franklin--becomes an empowering picture book exploring the concept of mutual respect through the eyes of a young girl. [Respect's] art, by Rachel Moss, a Jamaican illustrator fueled by the energy of the Caribbean, will make readers want to amp up the music and dance, which perhaps is exactly what all of us need right now. --New York Times Book Review R-E-S-P-E-C-T / Find out what it means to me R-E-S-P-E-C-T / Take care, TCB Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me) A little respect Respect is a children's picture book based on lyrics written and originally recorded by Otis Redding in 1965. Aretha Franklin's iconic rendition of the song later peaked at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1967. Redding's lyrics continue to resonate with listeners today. With lyrics by Otis Redding and illustrations by Rachel Moss, this irresistible book shows a young girl, her brother, and her parents conjuring as many positive futures for each other as they can dream. Packed with playful vignettes as they imagine a life full of possibility, Respect provides families an opportunity to explore themes of mutual respect--while revisiting one of the greatest songs ever written. The Otis Redding Foundation. Redding was dedicated to improving the quality of life for his community through the education and empowerment of its youth. He provided scholarships and summer music programs which continued until his untimely death on December 10, 1967. Today, the mission of the Otis Redding Foundation, established in 2007 by Mrs. Zelma Redding, is to empower, enrich, and motivate all young people through programs involving music, writing, and instrumentation.

Review :
"These LyricPop picture books will have your kids singing, dancing, & learning." --Romper "Rolling Stone magazine named 'Respect' one of its top 5 songs of all time. And before Aretha Franklin's rendition of 'Respect' became an anthem for women's empowerment, there was Otis Redding. The legendary Macon musician originally released the song in 1965. Now, the Redding family is breathing new life into the song and turning those memorable lyrics into a picture book for children, called Respect." --On Second Thought (Georgia Public Broadcasting) I feel like this book is one of the best things to come in of 2020. It's pure joy, and delivers a message so profound and it's so deeply needed now...Respect, a new book for young children, is based on one of the greatest songs of the 20th century. Otis Redding's song lyrics are brought to the page through wonderful illustrations by Rachel Moss...These illustrations are as exuberant as the song lyrics. --Lois Reitzes on City Lights (WABE Atlanta, GA) "The themes of empowerment and diversity are evident in [Moss's] drawings, as well as the lyrics that pepper each page." --Atlanta Journal-Constitution At the end of the book there are ten questions to talk through with your kids about the meaning of respect, these were one of my favorite things in the series so far because they prompted great discussions. --GeekMom I love how Rachel Moss took this song and illustrated it with these amazing pictures of all of the possibilities kids have to look forward to. --Christy's Cozy Corners Included in Publishers Weekly's Fall 2020 Children's Announcements
