This picture book of Dee Snider’s classic song of empowerment and self-determination will strike a chord with kids everywhere.

“[A] story that both parents and children can easily relate to.” —Exclusive Magazine

“We’re not gonna take it

No, we ain’t gonna take it

We’re not gonna take it

Anymore!”

We’re Not Gonna Take It is a playful picture book echoing 1980s hair band Twisted Sister’s most popular antiestablishment anthem. As part of their triple-platinum album Stay Hungry, “We’re Not Gonna Take It” spent fifteen weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, reaching number twenty-one. With lyrics by Dee Snider and illustrations by Margaret McCartney, this picture book follows three toddlers on a mission to defy their parents, whether it be lunchtime, bath time, or bedtime. We’re Not Gonna Take It is a story both parents and children can relate to, and a song they can enjoy together.
