What do The Supremes and the Ramones have in common? While they’ll certainly have more join them in this club, they’re both the subject of recent, excellent illustrated books that are aimed at children aged four through seven. We Are The Supremes is an illustrated book in the Friends Change the World series on Quarto Knows. The book tells the story of three different friends who were talented in different ways who worked through it all to become the most successful girl groups of all time.
When is an illustrated book not an illustrated book? When it turns into a store, the old adage from bubble gum wrappers would tell us. Except, in this case, a book can’t walk and The Ramones, The Unauthorized Biography by Soledad Romero Marino with illustrations by Joe Padilla is an all-age look at a rock band that defined a generation. I know that calling them ‘rock’ and not ‘punk’ will raise the ire of some purists. Chill out my punk rock friends. This is a book that will satisfy longtime fans of The Ramones, kidlit lovers, mglit people who want to discover something new, and those parents who want to introduce their early readers to the group.
