NEW CHILDREN’S BOOK CELEBRATES WOODSTOCK
Max Said Yes! The Woodstock Story by Abigail Yasgur and Joseph Lipner is a lushly illustrated children’s book that tells the tale of the big-hearted and plain-spoken dairy farmer, Max Yasgur, who entered rock and roll history when he said YES, after so many others said NO, to three days of peace and music, on his farm in Bethel, NY in August 1969. August 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of this pivotal sixties event.
Praise for Max Said Yes! The Woodstock Story
Lets the light of Woodstock shine on a new generation,” raves Richie Havens, guitarist and singer who was the opening act at Woodstock. Naomi Howland, children’s book author and illustrator says this book “is a jubilant reminder of Max Yasgur’s generosity.” Elliot Landy official photographer of the 1969 Woodstock Festival: “A good way to introduce little children to the most positive cultural event of the century-the 1969 Woodstock Festival.”
The vivid, robust illustrations by artist Barbara Mendes evoke underground comics of the sixties. The colors are bright and depict flower children and hippies in period clothing and hairstyles. Parents and grandparents will delight in details like anti-war posters, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin on stage, tie-dye clothing, peace signs, flower power, VW buses and long-haired men.
Author Abigail Yasgur has spent the past 40 years saying ‘yes’ when asked on a weekly basis if she is “related to that guy who had Woodstock.” She is a professional librarian. Her husband and co-author, Joseph Lipner, is an attorney and writer. They live in Los Angeles. They now have many stories to share about the journey to creating Max Said Yes! the Woodstock Story.
