Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Kindergarten-Grade 3-A wonderful, poetic portrait. A little girl finds a kindred spirit in her grandmother, who grows vegetables, drives a purple bus, pickets city hall, plays banjo, and has a cat named Woodstock. When the woman lists all the exciting career possibilities her granddaughter will have when she grows up, the child says, "I tell her there's one other thing/I really want to do:/`Become a Hippie Grandmother,/So I'll be JUST LIKE YOU!'" Carter's colorful watercolor-and-gouache illustrations capture the happy mood of the verse. For all one-time hippies to share with their grandchildren on a one-to-one basis so as not to miss the details, or in a group to showcase the fun of the poetry, this is an entertaining choice.

From Booklist

PreS-Gr. 2. In this sunny picture book, a little girl talks about her hippie grandmother and what makes her special: "I have a hippie grandmother. / I'm really glad she's mine. She hasn't cut her hair at all / Since nineteen sixty-nine." From the cat named Woodstock to the "Flower Power" poster on the wall, there are plenty of period details, but they would barely rise above the level of cliche without the breezy, natural sounding verse that carries them so lightly and joyfully along. The watercolor-and-gouache illustrations reflect the spirit of the verse. Their harmonious colors, subtle patterns, and wiggly lines suggest music in the background. Don't look for nostalgia here, just a lively, intergenerational love song that features something rarely seen in picture books: a contemporary grandmother. Fun for reading aloud. Carolyn Phelan

5.0 out of 5 stars Hurah For Flower Power, April 30, 2003
My Hippie Grandmother is a winner from start finish. A clever rhyming text and bright colorful illustrations make this story about a young girl's devotion to her Grandmother a total delight. Children will love the text and illustrations. Adults will have a chuckle over the idea of the flower power generation becoming grandparents.

5.0 out of 5 stars CATCHY RHYMES AND COLORFUL ILLUSTRATIONS, September 9, 2003
With catchy rhyme and colorful illustrations Reeve Lindbergh (daughter of aviator/author Charles A. and Anne Morrow Lindbergh) offers a feel-good story about a grandparent/grandchild relationship.
The story begins with:
"I have a hippie grandmother.
I'm really glad she's mine.
She hasn't cut her hair at all
Since nineteen sixty-nine."

From there we learn that Grandma drives a purple bus, and has a cat named Woodstock. Naturally, her bedroom is decorated with "Love" and "Flower Power" posters, and she grows her own vegetables.

Throughout there are happy scenes of grandma and granddaughter enjoying happy times together, whether it's selling vegetables at the local farmer's market or picketing for peace.

"My Hippie Grandmother" is a delightful reminder of the love they feel for one another.

- Gail Cooke
