My Dad’s a DJ
with Keith Henry Brown

RESCHEDULED

Celebrate Father’s Day by picking up a copy of My Dad’s a DJ by author/artist Keith Henry Brown and then come back the following week for a reading. 

To create My Dad’s a DJ Bed-Stuy artist and father Keith Henry Brown teamed up with National Book Award winner Kathryn Erskine to celebrate Black fatherhood, identity, and music through the generational rivalry of hip-hop vs. jazz. Based in part on Brown's experience as a single father, this picture book deftly depicts modern divorce in a Black family, and is a heartwarming ode to how music can bring a father and son closer together.

Please join us in the streets as we set up outside The Word Is Change Sunday June 25th at 12:30pm.
