"Author Tony Medina pays tribute to legendary musician, poet, and activist Bob Marley in this outstanding production narrated by Jaime Lincoln Smith.... Smith's Jamaican accent and spot-on delivery animate the words, lifting them above evocative soundscapes enriched with selections from Marley's music. Enjoying the picture book's vibrant illustrations by Jesse Joshua Watson or reading along with the text can enhance the listening experience. Still, the audio performance stands remarkably well on its own." AudioFile Magazine
