Back in print with new cover art and a fresh design, the 1975 Hooray For Me! by Remy Charlip and Lilian Moore will transport readers back to the "me" decade. Vera B. Williams's watercolors depict dancing people of all colors-yellow, brown, even green and blue-celebrating themselves and their family relationships: phrases like "I am my big sister's baby brother" and "I am my cousin's cousin," painted in wild colors, are part of the pictures. New page borders by Williams add to the psychedelic effect.
