"[Respect's] art, by Rachel Moss, a Jamaican illustrator fueled by the energy of the Caribbean, will make readers want to amp up the music and dance, which perhaps is exactly what all of us need right now." --New York Times Book Review

"R-E-S-P-E-C-T / Find out what it means to me

R-E-S-P-E-C-T / Take care, TCB

Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me)

A little respect . . ."

Respect is a children's picture book based on lyrics written and originally recorded by Otis Redding in 1965. Aretha Franklin's iconic rendition of the song later peaked at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1967. Redding's lyrics continue to resonate with listeners today.

With lyrics by Otis Redding and illustrations by Rachel Moss, this irresistible book shows a young girl, her brother, and her parents conjuring as many positive futures for each other as they can dream. Packed with playful vignettes as they imagine a life full of possibility, Respect provides families an opportunity to explore themes of mutual respect--while revisiting one of the greatest songs ever written.

OTIS REDDING (1941-1967) was a singer, songwriter, and producer often referred to as the King of Soul(TM). Known for releasing such acclaimed songs as "These Arms of Mine," "Try a Little Tenderness(TM)," and "Respect," Redding is considered to be one of the most influential singers and songwriters of the 1960s. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and received two GRAMMYs as well as a GRAMMY Lifetime Achievement Award. To learn more, visit: otisredding.com
