Daniel Finds His Voice (These Brundidge Babies)

In this autism book for kids, Daniel Brundidge likes to sing better than he likes to talk. When his mom wins an RV in a contest, the family sets off to visit their grandma. Daniel looks out the window and sings all the way from the Big City Highway to the Old Town Road. Laugh and sing along with the Brundidge family in this uplifting, silly story that pays homage to one of the catchiest songs ever played. Inspired by the heartwarming viral video of Daniel singing "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X, this autism awareness book celebrates the power of music to teach and heal. Sheletta Brundidge is an Emmy Award-winning comedian, media personality, and reality television star. Her son Daniel was nonverbal until he was four years old and began humming the hit song "Old Town Road" by best-selling singer Lil Nas X. The clip of Sheletta's son was uploaded to Twitter where it quickly went viral getting 2 million hits and garnering the attention of national media. Sheletta's been featured in People magazine and USA Today and has appeared on Good Morning America, The Tamron Hall Show, The Steve Harvey Show, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
