My Dad Is a DJ — Kathryn Erskine

National Book Award winner Kathryn Erskine teams up with Keith Henry Brown on this lyrical picture book that celebrates music and Black identity.

Trevor's dad is a DJ, and he always picks the best music --
tunes jivin', beat drivin', high fivin'!
-- he's DJ Dap Daddy!

But after his parents split up and Dad moves out, Trevor feels like the pitch doesn't fit between them. Trevor has his own music now -- hip-hop -- and Dad can't seem to let go of his old soul favorites. As the end-of-year dance approaches, Trevor and his father will have to find their new groove to get the party started.

My Dad Is a DJ is a hip-hoppin', beat boppin', tunes poppin', not stoppin' story of a father and son's shared love of music and each other.
