My Dad Used to Be So Cool by Keith Negley
Did your dad used to be cool? Wondering what happened to his rock band playing, skateboarding days? This funny and relatable story shows children how their parents are still cool after all, even if it's not in quite the same way! Now for the first time in paperbook, parents and children will both enjoy engaging with this book, presented in Negley's unique style where words are minimal and the emotive illustrations really carry the story along.
The illustrations are fabulous - full of bold colours and brushstrokes that give it all a pulsing, positive energy-- BookTrust
Striking and stylish illustrations (...) a clever and appealing book about the father and son relationship, the life style changes that being a parent can bring and what it means to be really cool. -- Books For Keeps
It's really lovely how each page literally illustrates the before / after of becoming a Dad (...) of all the challenges that greet us upon becoming fathers, surely the one that we're never fully prepared for is the muting of who you were before becoming a Dad - it's a feeling that is astutely captured in this book and I enjoyed the journey. -- Daddilife
