There comes a time in every parent’s life when they briefly think, “Wow, I bet I could easily write and publish a really great children’s book and make a lot of money.” Thankfully, most do not even try… Not so Jeff Bridges, who has illustrated his daughter’s new book, Daddy Daughter Day, which tells the story of, well, you know, growing up with The Dude. Says Isabelle Bridges-Boesch: “This book has been inside of me for years. When I finally shared the idea with my dad, he was instantly supportive and agreed to do the illustrations.”

Is it just me, or do those figures look suspiciously like the nihilists from The Big Lebowski? (We report, you decide.)
