The world has long been awaiting a children's picture book about Joey Ramone and Gabba Gabba We Accept You lives up to the wait and then some. Taking the reader from Joey's difficult early years to the peak of The Ramones' influential glory, landing on the New York City street named in his honor.

Charmingly told by Jay Ruttenberg (The Lowbrow Reader) and stunningly illustrated by Lucinda Schreiber.

From the publisher: "Calling all parents lost in Kids Book Land! Gabba Gabba We Accept You is a children’s picture book telling the story of a misfit kid who grew up to be a punk rock hero. The challenging times that Jeffrey Ross Hyman endured before becoming Joey Ramone speak to young folks navigating the complexities of growing up, via teachable punk stuff: being your own person with your own compass, embracing uniqueness, etc. Jay Ruttenberg & Lucinda Schreiber light the tale righteously with plain-spoken language, lyrical graphic design and colorful illustrations, finding unexpected depths on every page."

50 pages, large-format hardcover, full-color. ISBN #9781937112424. Published by Drag City.
