Yes!
That is my late mother on the cover, and the book is about the glorious bouffant hairstyle that was all the rage in the 60s and 70s.
Bouffant – a beatnik fairytale is a collage-style picture book for teenagers and adults, with vivid images and whimsical text, as well as a surprising and fun collection of back pages that educate us all on the world of the BEATNIK.
The book is a love letter to my mother, and it has many twists and turns and outrageous things that happen, but in the end it is about the understanding between mother and daughter.
This book is also a homage to the beatniks, those rebel children of the arts and letters, in whose blood ran whiskey and wine, daring dreams and potent visions, and they were wild wild wild. Like most of us wished we could be …
This book is considered an LGBTQ book.

Millie B –
What a magical Beatnik fairytale! It takes you to another time, I enjoyed every minute reading this book, looking at all the detail. Coco Mary is a very talented author and artist. I just love how the pictures and the story comes to life, well that’s what it feels like to me. That Cupid, is so funny and adorable. This is a must read, you’ll enjoy it, guaranteed!
Florence Hart –
I have never read anything like this before. It is entirely unique. And the colors of the collage illustrations are so vibrant, they pop off the page. The characters are very cool. Cupid is my favorite. 21st century Cupid, a they! I love it!
I asked myself the question, for what age group is this book appropriate? And then I saw Flower Child Books, social media handle: for children 9 to 99. That makes sense!
Although I don’t know if I would read this book to my nine-year-old. It’s a little risqué, but for teenagers and even young adults, yay!
