Jazmyn Simon and Dule Hill are partners on and off the screen. After working together on several projects-such as HBO's Ballers, Peacock's Psych movie franchise, and Dule's current show, ABC's The Wonder Years-it was only natural this married couple would coauthor a children's book. Repeat After Me is aimed at inspiring the next generation of future leaders to see the very best in themselves. Parents to two amazing children, Jazmyn and Dule have made affirmations a daily practice in their family. They reside in Los Angeles. This is Dule's first book and Jazmyn's second.

"""The verse is warm and encouraging, reminding little ones of their worth. Depicting scenes ranging from birthday parties to playgrounds to fields of flowers, Knight-Justice’s digital illustrations have a collagelike look, incorporating written text and bits of sheet music; they have a DIY feel that may inspire kids to create their own art—a nice reflection of the book’s theme of empowerment. Will help instill much-needed feelings of self-worth in little ones."" —Kirkus Reviews ""A treasure trove of positive affirmations for young readers....An inspiring and heartening title that will find a home in any collection."" —School Library Journal"
