Inhaltsangabe

Sing along with Big Baby Jenkins, Pop Charlie, Great Nana, and a crew of farm animals as they shout for joy to this rendition of an African American spiritual!

From the author and illustrator team that brought you This Train Is Bound for Glory comes another riveting interpretation of a beloved African American spiritual, "I'm Goin' a Sing When the Spirit Says Sing," featuring farm animals. With illustrations that pop off the page, rhythmic text, and onomatopoeia for the youngest reader, I Gotta Sing! delivers a lively story that will quickly become a family favorite.

Hezekiah Big Baby Jenkins runs from the breakfast table to the farmyard begging Pop Charlie to sing. As he plucks his diddley bow, Pop Charlie smiles and invites the animals and Big Baby to join in the music.

I gotta sing when the Spirit says sing.
I gotta sing when the Spirit says sing.
I gotta sing when the Spirit says sing.
and shout in the Spirit of joy!

Before long, the rowdy crew are singing, mooing, oinking, and clapping along to the toe-tapping tune. But when Great Nana calls that it’s bath time because “warm water and bubbles won’t last all day,” will the party end? Or will Pop Charlie snap snap snap the tempo back to life?

The lyrics of "I’m Goin’ a Sing When the Spirit Says Sing” have evolved across the ages. At the end of the book readers will find an invitation to write a version of the song for a new generation.

Big Baby keeps a morning schedule. Every day is the same
ticktock. After grits, gravy, and peach toast, he runs to find
Pop Charlie in the barnyard while Great Nana fills the bath.

“I see my baby!” Pop Charlie cheers. “What can I do for you?”
“Sing!” Big Baby shouts. Pop Charlie grins from ear to ear as
he plucks his diddley bow. He lifts his chin and crows. . . 

I gotta SING when the Spirit says SING.
I gotta SING when the Spirit says SING.
I gotta SING when the Spirit says SING,
and shout in the spirity of joy!
