Hip-Hop Lollipop

Lollie keeps dancing when it is time to get ready for bed. Her mother, father, and sister remind her about the evening routine, but music continues to shape each activity, from brushing teeth to changing into pajamas. Eventually, the music is turned down and the lights are lowered, yet Lollie still hears the rhythm. When she finally falls asleep, the dancing continues in her dreams. The story centers on a young Black girl’s energetic movement at home and the patient responses of her family as bedtime approaches.
