Marvelous to Me by award-winning singer, songwriter, and children’s book author Keb’ Mo’ is an inspirational little story and more. It makes for a great message in a children’s book. It is also a song from his 2022 album Good To Be… Written with John Lewis Parker, the story and song tell of a future where anyone can still hold their head up high no matter what.
This wonderful little book is illustrated by author and illustrator MF James. The bright and colorful artwork is set at a fair with a diverse cast of characters, including a young Keb’ Mo’ and his guitar. Children of every race and color enjoy a fabulous day together. James even includes children with disabilities interacting with everyone else. When children read books, often they look for themselves represented in the pages. It is easy to find oneself in these pages.
With Keb’ Mo’s words and MF James’s art, this is a great book to read or sing out loud in a group or alone. This inspirational story has an important message that everyone needs to hear. “The future looks Marvelous to Me.”
