Bob Dylans first book for kids Forever Young available everywhere September 23, 2008! Since it first appeared on the 1974 album Planet Waves, "Forever Young" has been one of Bob Dylan's most beloved songs. Its an anthem to youth, to doing the right thing, to cherishing the spirit of being young.
"May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young"
.
As an aficionado of lesser-known children’s books by luminaries of grown-up culture, I was excited for the release of If Dog's Run Free, a delightful adaptation of the beloved 1970 Dylan song from the album New Morning, illustrated by Scott Campbell.
“If dogs run free, then why not we / Across the swooping plain?”
