As a teenager (in the early seventies) this was my favorite book. The author’s name being the same was a treat! The hopes for a peaceful future, a communal philosophy, natural beauty, and simple pleasures were all involved in shaping who I became. The copy I treasured belonged to my cousin and best friend Amanda….I water coloured all my favorite pages for her and eventually had to return it. I bought a used copy just a few years ago because I missed it!

I wish my parents were cool. Just kidding they are. But they don’t have cool books.

Hello mum … my mum had this … I remember when I was really young that I thought it was a bit rude to have a naked lady on the front … but now it looks like the kind of book I would buy!
hurrah for the neverending cycle of life

I LOVE books like this. I have a set of tarot cards that were my mom’s from the 70s that are a similar style- but a different artist. I’m going to look at her site now…

I looked up the author’s website, and she is still doing what she does. She is also a musician and has illustrated several other books. Her website is http://www.aliciabaylaurel.com if anyone wants to look further.
