What's a boy to do?
Author Bill Richardson grew up in an era when creativity and individuality were celebrated; with I Would Have Gone to Woodstock, he has written a book that will help the newest generation understand what it was like to live in the sixties and how the Baby Boomers shaped the world we now live in. It's bright, colorful illustrations complement the book's message of learning to express the "inner you."
