The author is Marcus Sikora, a 25 year old creative soul who has Down syndrome and lives in Omaha, Nebraska. We got a chance to talk to him and his dad, Quinn Sikora. We heard about everything from the creative process to book release and all that goes with it.
Hopefully it is not a spoiler, but the book is about a band. So they decided to have fun with it and form the band (at least to record the title song). So if you listen in, you also get to listen to the song! We really liked the song but what was super cool was the reaction that my son Luke had – He could not sit still and listen because he had to dance. Now every time you say ‘We are the Band’ to Luke he shouts ‘Black Day!’
