Gabba Gabba We Accept You: Chicago Event

The children’s book “Gabba Gabba We Accept You: The Wondrous Tale of Joey Ramone” was unleashed on the known universe earlier this summer by Drag City. Written by Lowbrow editor Jay Ruttenberg and illustrated by Lucinda Schreiber, the book has met with some lovely praise—do check out these kind write-ups in Moonbuilding and the Kirkus Review.

Since its publication, “Gabba Gabba We Accept You” has been celebrated with events in New York and London. Now, it hits the other great city of the world: Chicago, home to the book’s mighty publisher. On Saturday morning, August 16, City Lit Books hosts a story time with the “Gabba” writer. Kids are encouraged; all are very much welcome. Come on down to City Lit Books in Chicago’s beautiful Logan Square—and maybe even buy a book!
