Celebrate the special bond between fun-loving moms and their lucky
kids in this tribute from the bestselling creators behind Because
I'm Your Dad, Ahmet Zappa and Dan Santat. What's the best kind of
mom? The kind of mom who lets you have nachos for breakfast, goes
skateboarding with you at the beach, and does the dinosaur dance
with you under the full moon. But best of all, she kisses away your
owies, wishes upon a shooting star for you, and loves you
always...for exactly who you are. Ahmet Zappa, son of legendary
rock star Frank Zappa, was inspired by his own wife and son to
write this ode to moms everywhere and the unique bonds they have
with their kids-perfect for Mother's Day and all year round.
"A movie for your ears" is how rock icon Frank Zappa first described his album Hot Rats, which remains, 50 years after its release, not only one of Zappa's most critically acclaimed and commercially successful albums, but a stunning tour-de-force of the totality of his musical genius and legendary skills as a composer, lyricist, producer, arranger, studio innovator and virtuoso guitar player. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this much-loved LP, Ahmet Zappa and the Zappa Trust have teamed with Backbeat Books and Bill Gubbins, the only photographer to document the Hot Rats sessions, to create The Hot Rats Book, a deluxe, commemorative book packed with never-been-seen-before photos and an interview between Ahmet Zappa and Bill Gubbins documenting the Hot Rats sessions and last U.S. show of the original Mothers of Invention on August 10, 1969 at Cleveland's Musicarnival in Warrensville Heights, Ohio.
The Hot Rats Book is an official Frank Zappa book produced and written with the full cooperation and endorsement of the Zappa Trust.
"Because I'm your dad, you can have spaghetti for breakfast, French
toast for dinner, and rocky road ice cream in the bathtub."
In a text that's both playful and loving, a father expresses his
hopes and dreams for a one-of-a-kind relationship with his child.
Whimsical monster characters bring the silly and sweet scenes to
life and keep the book universal. The book's ending, a moving
tribute to the author's father, guarantees intergenerational
appeal.
"Because I'm your dad, I will do all of these things for you and
more . . ."
"because that's what my dad did for me."
