Some people are born to move, they live with a rhythm inside their bones that causes them to break out in dance or tap a long to a beat- whenever and wherever it finds them. That's Eli. Eli's beat has been with him since birth. Swaying before crawling, dancing before walking, the rhythm flows through E like a beat to its own melody.

ELI AND THE BEAT celebrates the world of music and movement through the heart of Eli and the inspiration of the Black men in entertainment that have paved the way. Whether tapping along with Savion, or top-rocking to Don't Sweat the Technique, readers are taken on a lyrical journey that inspires them to find their own inner beat.
