Okay kiddo, do you know what a team is? When a group of friends work together to play a game or complete a project, it's called teamwork. Joint authorship is a lot like that but with writing books or making music!
When two or more people work together to make a book or a song, they are joint authors. Each person contributes something to the project, like coming up with ideas, writing lyrics, or playing instruments. It's like a big team effort to create something amazing!
In the end, all the joint authors get credit for the book or song. This means that their names are listed together as the creators. Just like how everyone on a soccer team gets acknowledged for working together to score a goal, each joint author gets recognized for working together to make a book or song.
So, joint authorship is like teamwork in creating something awesome, and everyone who helped gets to share in the credit for their hard work!
