Description
Meet the Rocks.
Dad is a rock guitarist, Pops is the singer, Liv is the drummer, and Bo is keyboardist and writes the lyrics. Oh, and Nan and the dog are in the band too. It's a household of big shoes, big hair, and GLAM ROCK. Except for the youngest child, Sam. Sam is a flautist who likes peace, quiet and classical music. He doesn't feel like he fits in and he's dreading his end-of-year school recital. Can he trust his family to sit and listen?
But when stage fright hits, maybe Sam's rocking, grooving, clanging family might be just what he needs.
A new picture book from Robert Tregoning, winner of the Indie Book Awards 2024, Picture Book Category for The Dress in the Window.

Reviews / Votes
"This book encourages empathy, celebrates quiet confidence, and reminds young readers (and grown-ups, too) that whilst families can be wild, they're also wonderfully supportive when it counts." * Clare Helen Welsh, founder of Books That HelpR^ * "[An] exuberant story which springs to glorious life through Brenlla's gallery of colourful, vibrant and high-octane illustrations. A musical masterpiece!" * The Lancashire Post * "At its core, The Rock Family Band offers recognition, validation, and kindness to those who feel different. It's a celebration of individuality, family, and finding your place in the music - whatever your tune may be." * Laura O'Flanagan, Children's Books Ireland *More details
