Gabba Gabba We Accept You The Wondrous Tale of Joey Ramone

Jay Ruttenberg & Lucinda Schreiber

Drag City

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.
