Book Nook - Granny is a Hippie: A Day of Tie-Dye, Sunshine, and Spreading Kindness; and Moodies: Tasty Little Feelings

 

Little Gestalten is thrilled to announce the release of two engaging new children's books: Moodies: Tasty Little Feelings, the highly anticipated debut board book by acclaimed illustrator Lauren Martin, and Granny is a Hippie: A Day of Tie-Dye, Sunshine, and Spreading Kindness, a vibrant new children’s book that invites young readers into a colorful world full of peace, love, and music. From playfully giving faces to big emotions to exploring the history and enduring harmony of the hippie movement, these new titles offer young readers beautiful, interactive journeys of discovery.

Billed as "Little Friends for Big Hearts," MOODIES (June 2) by Lauren Martin turns abstract feelings into unforgettable characters. From a wobbly jelly feeling shy to a fizzy soda bursting with joy, Martin’s vibrant and witty illustrations transform everyday objects and beloved foods into empathetic, anthropomorphic creatures. Simple, smart, and full of heart, the book is designed to speak both to children discovering their feelings and adults rediscovering them.

Beyond the heart-warming story, GRANNY IS A HIPPIE (June 30) serves as an educational resource, featuring a detailed timeline of the hippie movement from its beginnings in Haight-Ashbury to its global impact. The book also includes a glossary of key terms and a recipe for Mango Lassi, offering children a hands-on way to engage with the culture. Published by Little Gestalten, this book is a beautiful celebration of the hippie spirit and its enduring message of kindness and harmony.
