McVie's classic song about keeping one's chin up and rolling with life's punches is beautifully adapted to an uplifting children's book.
Don't stop thinking about tomorrow
Don't stop, it'll soon be here
It'll be better than before
Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone
Don't Stop is a beautifully illustrated picture book based on Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac's enduring anthem to optimism and patience. The song was one of the singles on Fleetwood Mac's megahit album Rumours, which spent thirty-one weeks at number one on the Billboard charts and went on to sell over forty million copies worldwide.
"Christine McVie's lyrics paired with woodland creatures is the wholesome content we want in 2020."
--Paste Magazine
"Christine McVie's music was truly something that impacted fans of all ages. Case in point: in 2020, the singer released an illustrated children's book, based on the lyrics to her famous hit, Don't Stop. The fan-favorite song, off Fleetwood Mac's acclaimed 1977 album Rumours, was reinterpreted as a 24-page picture book, with illustrations by Nusha Ashjaee. . . . Don't Stop follows the story of a rabbit, who works to awaken her hibernating friends out of winter and help them welcome in spring."
--Rolling Stone
"This beautiful picture book gives adults a wonderful way to share an important song (and great lessons) with kids."
--Math Is Everywhere
"These are all songs you would hear on the radio, beautifully illustrated to share their song-stories, ideas, and cultural heritage with your children."
