Stay Positive: A Children's Picture Book -- The Hold Steady

<p> <strong> <em>STAY POSITIVE</em> </strong> is a charming children's picture book based on The Hold Steady song of the same name. The title track of the band's fourth album (released in 2008), "Stay Positive" is a call to arms to stand strong and persevere during trying times. The song remains a fan favorite and a staple of The Hold Steady's live shows.</p><p>The book follows the path of an adorable armadillo who discovers along the way how music can pull together a disparate cast of characters. It's also a lesson in tenacity and maintaining a positive attitude when encountering adverse situations. The story ends up in a unified celebration that mirrors the joy of a Hold Steady performance.</p><p>Singer Craig Finn explains, "'Stay Positive' has a line that says, 'The kids at the shows will have kids of their own, ' and it's true: each year more Hold Steady fans become parents or grandparents. So I'm thrilled that we're offering the children's book version of 'Stay Positive, ' which brings THS joy to the whole family."</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> The Hold Steady<br><b>Publisher:</b> Akashic Books, Ltd.<br><b>Published:</b> 10/01/2024<br><b>Pages:</b> 32<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781636141855<br><b>Audience:</b> Baby-Preschool<p></p>
