My Dad Used to Be So Cool by Keith Negley

My Dad Used to Be So Cool by Keith Negley

Keith Negley's playful and emotional art tells this story of a new father who is no longer the cool guy he once was. He looks back wistfully on his crazy times playing in a band, riding a motorcycle, and getting tattoos. Those days may be behind him, but his young son still thinks he's the coolest guy in the world.

Keith Negley is an award-winning editorial illustrator with a penchant for emotionally driven illustration. He's been published in a wide range of major newspapers and national magazines, and is a frequent contributor to the New York Times and New Yorker. He lives in the mountains of Bellingham, Washington, surrounded by rain forests and giant spiders. This is his second book for Flying Eye, following Tough Guys Have Feelings Too

Negley is carving out a niche exploring 21st century masculinity issues for little dudes, in sincere and graphically sophiticated picture books that design-concious parents will be happy to keep around the house
- New York Times 


Negley's punchy graphics bring real emotion to a story that's senstive with just a bit of an edge
- Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review


In a direct challenge to the dadcore trope... Cool parents everywhere (and mere mortals) will relate to this stylish, sly, and loving tribute.
