 Since we now know who is logged in while using the app, we can show the user's actual name in the navbar. We should also give them a way to log out as well, by adding a "Log Out" button.
 
-As with the other features we've built, we'll select the relevant state (the username and corresponding user object) from the store, display the values, and dispatch the `userLoggedOut()` action when they click the "Log Out" button:
+We need to get the current user object from the store so we can read `user.name` for display. We can do that by first getting the current username from the auth slice, then using that to look up the right user object. This seems like a thing we might want to do in a few places, so this is a good time to write it as a reusable `selectCurrentUser` selector. We can put that in `usersSlice.ts`, but have it import and rely on the `selectCurrentUsername` from `authSlice.ts`:
+
+```ts title="features/users/usersSlice.ts"
+// highlight-next-line
+import { selectCurrentUsername } from '@/features/auth/authSlice'
+
+// omit the rest of the slice and selectors
+
+// highlight-start
+export const selectCurrentUser = (state: RootState) => {
+  const currentUsername = selectCurrentUsername(state)
+  return selectUserById(state, currentUsername)
+}
+// highlight-end
+```
+
+It's often useful to compose selectors together and use one selector inside of another. In this case, we can use both `selectCurrentUsername` and `selectUserById` together.
