There are books to win, insider posts to get a sneak peek at over 100 books and new authors to discover! Are you up for the Hunt?

GO TEAM ORANGE!

I believe the best things are co-created and that art improves exponentially by collaboration with creative brains. It can achieve one of those rare, inspirational moments when 1+1=3, creating unimaginable synergy and something fantastic--literally fantasy, beyond what could be imagined as real. Watching people get excited and riff off one another's brilliance is something I call "popcorning" and it never fails to make me smile.

That's how I feel about the Cup Song when it's performed by a big group of people. It's especially cool when it's a school, showing that cliques and ages and genders and races and belief systems and looking cool doesn't matter much anymore when everyone's singing along, having fun!

So here it is: Cup Song performed by the staff and students of Collège Saint-Bernard. I dare you not to have a smile on your face when it's over.

Have an awesome weekend!
