About Justin Roberts:
Five-time Grammy® nominated children’s musician Justin Roberts has been creating the soundtrack to families’ lives for 25 years. Now, with his 16th full length album, Space Cadet, Justin’s rock journey goes interstellar with feel-good songs rooted in themes of inclusion, acceptance, and self-discovery. Inspired by his life as a new dad and experiences in isolation, Space Cadet offers feel-good fun for the whole family. Justin has been praised by the New York Times for his “remarkable ability to see through a child’s eyes…,” and is known for writing meaningful songs that acknowledge kids’ emotional depth while still letting the fun shine through. In concert, kids and adults dance it out with Justin and his incredibly talented band, the Not Ready for Naptime Players, all while exploring what it means to be yourself and embrace what makes you unique.
Justin is the author of multiple children’s books and is available for author appearances and assemblies. The Smallest Girl in the Smallest Grade, illustrated by Christian Robinson, is the story of how one person can make a difference and was inspired by his beloved song, “Billy the Bully.” In The Great Henry Hopendower, a young boy remembers his much-loved grandpa and his newest book, I’ll Be Your Polar Bear, is a heartwarming story about the lengths a father will go to comfort and protect his child.
