"Daddy’s home! Daddy’s home!” Kenya gave her daddy a big hug.
“Will you help me with my homework?” she asked him.
Daddy put his music bag on the piano. “What do you have to do?” he asked.
“We have to tell the class what our favorite song is,” Kenya said. “I don’t have one.”
“You should pick this one,” Kenya’s big sister, Mosi, said. She sang a song about a town full of silly people. Everybody laughed.
Then Mom sang a song about a happy family. She had such a beautiful voice. By the end of the song, the whole family was singing the chorus together.
“Those are your favorite songs,” Kenya said. “I need to find my own.”
“Start with your favorite music,” Daddy said. “What is it?”
“Jazz, of course,” Kenya said. “Jazz like you play, Daddy.”
