I Grab the Mic is a picture book that follows kids as they face challenging moments and build their confidence, told in lively, hip-hop–inspired, lyrical verse. In this debut, a young girl and her friends wrestle with the jittery nerves of speaking and performing before a crowd; through rhythmic language, playful beats, and supportive friendship, they learn to steady their breath, trust their voices, and step into the spotlight. The story celebrates courage, self-expression, and the power of community, showing young readers that fear can be transformed into rhythm, words can become wings, and every voice deserves to be heard.
