Can’t you see this being a fantastic picture book? On one page is an illustrated Stevie Wonder playing with his toys on Christmas morning, and on the next page is him sneaking out of his house to meet with his friends. Ok, maybe it wouldn’t send the best message, but we would still buy it!
They didn’t make our slideshow, but we want to give a shoutout to these songs, which we still think would make pretty awesome children’s books:
“I,” Kendrick Lamar: Just ignore the language.
“Daddy,” Beyonce: A little girl’s love song to the irreplaceable man in her life—her daddy.
“U-N-I-T-Y,” Queen Latifah: You know you would buy it.
“Ben,” Michael Jackson: Yes, we know it’s about a dead rat, but that doesn’t make it any less touching.
“Children’s Story,” Slick Rick: Think of it as a cautionary tale.
