Dude Dad Releases Debut Children’s Book ‘Dad And The Recycling-Bin Roller Coaster’

Taylor Calmus — aka Dude Dad — has made a career out of creating comedic, relatable and family-focused content, amassing 7M+ followers and more than 1 billion total views across platforms. Today (5.16), he releases his debut children’s book ‘Dad and the Recycling-Bin Roller Coaster’ via Penguin Random House Publishing.

Dad and the Recycling-Bin Roller Coaster’ tells the story of a dad who goes a bit overboard trying to DIY the perfect day for his kids, repurposing household items to create a vessel for adventure. Armed with a recycling bin and a leaf blower, “Dad” creates everything from a rocket ship and an ice cream truck to a time machine and more, all to his kids’ disapproval. However, there’s a truly heartwarming reason that they turn down the ideas, which is sure to resonate with parents everywhere.

"I'm so excited for this book to finally be out," says Calmus. "It's a lifelong dream and I hope it can be an inspiration for kids and parents alike."

Calmus and his wife Heidi went live on Facebook to talk about the creation of the book and tease the real-life roller coaster that Calmus built in his backyard for his kids, which will be debuted tomorrow (5.17). Watch their live chat here: fb.watch/kzsTPq8O4e

Dad and the Recycling-Bin Roller Coaster’ marks Calmus’ third foray into the world of books, as he is also the author of the dad-focused pregnancy book – ‘A Dude’s Guide to Baby Size’ – and the laugh-out-loud ‘A Daily Dose of Dad Jokes: 365 Truly Terrible Wisecracks’ – both of which are available for purchase online, here. He's also the host of the Magnolia Network show, ‘Super Dad,’ which finds Calmus helping other aspiring “DIY dads” turn their kids’ backyard dreams into larger-than-life, playtime realities. Every Tuesday, Calmus and his wife Heidi post new videos on his YouTube channel, documenting all of the couple’s adventures in parenting — from the wholesome to the hectic.
