Alice Faye Duncan writes for the love of music and the inspiring magic of words. Some of her picture books include This Train Is Bound for Glory, Opal Lee and What It Means to Be Free, Evicted!, and Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop. Paul Kellam is a graduate of The Art Institute and a freelance watercolor illustrator based in Florida. His art brings vitality and color to books such as the New York Times bestselling book You Can Be a Good Friend (No Matter What!) by Taraji P. Henson and The Little Mermaid- Make a Splash by Ashley Franklin.
“A whole barnyard makes noise ‘in the Spirit of joy’ throughout this raucous picture book, a sweetly heartwarming sing-along by Duncan. Kellam conveys comfort and happiness as the loved ones reflect sunny enthusiasm in this gladdening rendition of the Black American religious folk song ‘I’m Goin’a Sing When the Spirit Says Sing.’”—Publishers Weekly
