Go Birds: A Child’s Favorite Words (Photo: Andrew Rosenbaum) <\/p>\n
PHILADELPHIA<\/strong> – Philadelphia fans start young \u2014 sometimes as soon as they can talk. And in this city, it wouldn\u2019t surprise anyone if a child\u2019s first words were the beloved Eagles rallying cry: “Go Birds!” Now, a new children\u2019s book aims to capture that same joy, pride and Philly family tradition.<\/p>\n Go Birds: A Child\u2019s Favorite Words<\/a> is the creation of two lifelong Eagles fans, author Andrew Rosenbaum and illustrator Jeff Wooler, who came up with the idea on a fall afternoon watching a Philadelphia Eagles game with their kids.<\/p>\n \u00a0Every big play sparked a cheer from their children \u2014 “Go Birds!” \u2014 and the moment inspired them to turn that energy into something lasting.<\/p>\n How it started <\/p>\n What began as a backyard idea grew into a two-year creative project filled with rhymes, watercolor illustrations and heartfelt Philly pride, according to Rosenbaum. The pair wanted to make a book that parents could read at bedtime, helping the next generation of fans learn their first and favorite words: “Go Birds!”<\/p>\n Each page is narrated by a spirited eagle mascot, following young fans through all the highlights of football season \u2014 from training camp drills and stadium trips to tailgates, touchdowns and the ultimate Philly dream: a parade down Broad Street.<\/p>\n Go Birds: A Child’s Favorite Words (Photo: Andrew Rosenbaum) <\/p>\n The project and Kickstarter campaign <\/p>\n The book is being published through Mascot Kids, an imprint of Amplify Publishing Group, known for its sports and children\u2019s titles. To fund the first print run, the creators launched a Kickstarter campaign, which has already surpassed $6,000 of its $13,500 goal. The funds will go toward printing 1,000 copies, high-quality production and backer rewards like books, puzzles and games.<\/p>\n Rosenbaum and Wooler say the early enthusiasm from the Philly community \u2014 including a shout-out from local personalities on social media \u2014 shows just how deep the city\u2019s love for its team runs.<\/p>\n “This book isn\u2019t just for kids,” Rosenbaum said in a statement. “It\u2019s for every parent who\u2019s ever taught their child the words \u2018Go Birds\u2019 before anything else.”<\/p>\n Go Birds: A Child’s Favorite Words (Photo: Andrew Rosenbaum) <\/p>\n A celebration of Philly pride <\/p>\n With its watercolor pages and rhythmic storytelling, Go Birds: A Child\u2019s Favorite Words is designed to be more than a book \u2014 it\u2019s a love letter to the city\u2019s fans. The creators hope it will live on bedroom bookshelves and family coffee tables as a keepsake of Philly culture and community.<\/p>\n The Kickstarter campaign runs through this month. Supporters can pre-order copies or pledge at various reward tiers at Kickstarter.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Go Birds!” isn\u2019t just a cheer \u2014 it\u2019s a Philly tradition. Now, thanks to two hometown dads, it\u2019s a bedtime story too.<\/p>\n Go Birds: A Child’s Favorite Words (Photo: Andrew Rosenbaum) <\/p>\n The Source:<\/b> Information in this article was gathered from Andrew Rosenbaum and the Kickstarter page for Go Birds: A Child’s Favorite Words.<\/p>\n Philadelphia<\/a>Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"article Go Birds: A Child’s Favorite Words (Photo: Andrew Rosenbaum) PHILADELPHIA – Philadelphia fans start young \u2014 sometimes…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":284028,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5132],"tags":[5229,50,1232,1448,2830,1311,1105,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-284027","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-pa","12":"tag-pennsylvania","13":"tag-philadelphia","14":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","15":"tag-united-states","16":"tag-united-states-of-america","17":"tag-unitedstates","18":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115333077457697758","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284027","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284027"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284027\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284028"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284027"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284027"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284027"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/kickstarter-image-3-scaled.jpg\")
