A unique picture book adventure for music lovers of all ages about how to never be quiet, never give up, and never underestimate the power of percussion.

Months have passed since the Grown-Ups were taken captive, forced to brush the teeth and scratch the backs of the Growlies. One day the children make a decision: Ratamacue! It means "no more waiting." It means it's time for a rescue mission! They set off on a wild and uncertain journey, forming a drumline to overcome the many obstacles in their way. In the end, the Growlies' meanness is no match for the children's magic: their collective music.

Ra! Ta! Ma! Cue! celebrates the power of kids accomplishing remarkable feats, even when up against seemingly undefeatable odds--especially when they are underestimated. With stunning illustrations and a distinctive blend of picture book and graphic musical score reminiscent of John Cage, this exciting book will inspire kids and adults alike.

An instant classic of bravery, courage, and persistence that empowers kids to pick up a drum and make some noise!
