Children’s book celebrates little daredevils

In a thrilling homage to Evel Kneivel for the preschool set, writer Michael Buckley and illustrator Dan Santat have created the humorous, inspiring picture book, “Kel Gilligan’s Daredevil Stunt Show.” The title character — like every child — is amazing because he can “perform super scary stunts” such as eating broccoli, successfully using his potty chair, dressing himself, and protecting his parents from the monsters under their bed. Buckley’s book cleverly reminds us how challenging the world can seem from the perspective of the littlest humans, while giving our kids the encouragement and congratulations they deserve for summoning all of that courage every day.
