In doing so, Teigen joins the musical canon of artists like the [Migos](http://time.com/4628583/donald-glovers-migos-golden-globes-2017/) and [Ludacris](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFtHeo7oMSU) who [have used children’s literature as a way to freestyle rap](http://time.com/4645428/migos-childrens-book-bad-and-boujee/) in the past. To attend this hip listening party, Luna came appropriately attired in a onesie that read “gangsta napper.” The book that Teigen chose to put her own creative twist on is kid classic “Barnyard Dance” by Sandra Boynton and by the looks of Luna’s dance moves, it looks like both mother and daughter heartily approve of the book choice. Watch Luna and Teigen get their reading on below. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4845205/chrissy-teigen-raps-childrens-book-to-daughter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4845205/chrissy-teigen-raps-childrens-book-to-daughter/"},"headline":"Watch Cool Mom Chrissy Teigen Rap a Children's Book to Daughter Luna","datePublished":"2017-07-05T15:58:40.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:45:08.137Z","description":"Chrissy Teigen confirmed that she's a not a normal mom, but a cool mom when she rapped a children's book to daughter Luna.","url":"https://time.com/4845205/chrissy-teigen-raps-childrens-book-to-daughter/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Parenting","celebrities","viral","Chrissy Teigen"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt529bddde82bf6fad/6988d46c97cdff00af6b173d/chrissy-teigen-raps-childrens-book.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt529bddde82bf6fad/6988d46c97cdff00af6b173d/chrissy-teigen-raps-childrens-book.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2017 Tony Awards - Red Carpet","caption":"2017 Tony Awards - Red Carpet","creditText":"Jemal Countess—Getty Images for Tony Awards Pro","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4845205/chrissy-teigen-raps-childrens-book-to-daughter/","name":"Watch Cool Mom Chrissy Teigen Rap a Children's Book to Daughter Luna"}}]}] ```
