We Got the Beat

An exuberant celebration of dance and play in picture book form, based on Charlotte Caffey’s joyful classic made famous by the Go-Go’s.

“Who does not love this famous song from the eighties? It’s a great choice of song to put in a picture book. I liked they made the text colorful and fun.” —Portland Book Review

"See the people walking down the street

Fall in line just watching all their feet

They don’t know where they want to go

But they’re walking in time

They got the beat . . ."

We Got the Beat is a children’s picture book based on the hit song by the 1980s new wave group the Go-Go’s. Consisting of five members, the all-female band rocked the nation with their charisma and musical genius. Their hit song “We Got the Beat” spent three weeks at #2 on the Billboard 100 and became their signature song. Says the New York Times: the Go-Go’s “taught a new generation the power of the girl gang.”
