Dawn Patrol

**By: Rob Sayegh Jr**
**Candlewick**
**Publication Date:** May 13, 2025
**A father and daughter go out to surf at dawn in this touching, visually striking ode to the bond between parent and child.**

*We are the Dawn Patrol when waves wrap around us,*
*like one of Dad’s giant bear hugs.*

Waking with the first glimpse of sun, a father and daughter set out together for the shore, donning wetsuits and laughing as their giant shadows stretch out before them. For this duo, the cherished routine means watching with awe as surfers glide on waves like brushstrokes across canvas. It means just enough encouragement to turn nervousness into excitement; it means wiping out and trying again and again. But the Dawn Patrol is about more than spending time on the water. It’s about making memories out of the smallest moments; about always finding ways to be together, no matter how busy life gets or what the passing days and years may bring. With stunning artwork and a tender text, Rob Sayegh Jr. celebrates the parent-child bond and the little things that add up to a lifetime of love. It’s a story just right for lap-sharing, and an ideal gift for Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, or any day.

Good Times Roll

Song Lyrics by Ric Ocasek Illustrations by Rob Sayegh Jr

Akashic Books/Lyric Pop

Publication Date: October 5, 2021

Ric Ocasek's rock and roll classic, "Good Times Roll"—one of the Cars' hit songs—leaps off the page in this exhilarating picture book.

"Let the good times roll
Let them knock you around
Let the good times roll
Let them make you a clown . . ."

Good Times Roll is a delightful picture book based on the Cars' hit rock and roll song written by lead singer/guitarist Ric Ocasek. "Good Times Roll" was the third single on the Cars' groundbreaking debut 1978 album The Cars, which has sold over six million copies and peaked at #18 on the Billboard top 200 albums chart.

Artist Rob Sayegh Jr. perfectly captures the playful spirit of Ocasek's song in this beautifully illustrated picture book. Any child (or adult) who's ever spent time with a cat will appreciate how good the times roll for felines when chasing an unraveling ball of yarn. With energy and humor, Sayegh's cat will charm parents and children alike, to the tune of one of rock and roll's most memorable songs.
