Overview


Let's wind the clocks back to 1999. We're at the Grammys, and Ol' Dirty of the Wu-Tang Clan bum-rushes the stage. He interrupts an acceptance speech, announcing to the world one thing... "WU-TANG IS FOR THE CHILDREN!" Those words have echoed through multiple generations, resonating with fans and non-fans alike. Here, in the pages of this book, we honor the greatest rap group of all time.

Description


From A to Z, we take a journey through the world of the Wu-Tang, discovering references to the group's music and their endearing fascination with martial arts. Many of us fans started with the Wu-Tang at a young age, and now we have kids of our own. That puts this book at the intersection of nostalgia and legacy. For fans, it reminds us of our love for the greatest hip-hop group of all time. For our future children, it's required reading.

About the author


Lee Lawrence is a writer and author living in Brooklyn. He's been a fan of the Wu-Tang Clan since he was 10. The first time he heard the song "Da Mystery of Chessboxin'," he couldn't believe that music could even sound like that! For as long as he can remember, Lee has always enjoyed creative writing. This passion project is the ultimate expression of his love for writing, inspiring young minds, and of course, the Wu. 

Illustrator Marco Mares is a healthcare provider from San Diego and a lifelong Wu-Tang and hip-hop fan. He considers this book the ultimate expression of his creativity, but also just the beginning of a longer journey in artistry and illustration.

Happily Suprised I bought this book for my best friends daughter. To say I was blown away is an understatement. Great way for young ones to learn the alphabet and get introduced to Wu Tang. Liked it so much bought another one for a friend's granddaughter and will be buying at least one more for when I have grandchildren. Read more
