I’m New at Being Old is a pic­ture book for women. Offer­ing wit, whim­sy and vibrant­ly fan­ci­ful art, Lucy Rose Fis­ch­er cap­tures the essence of what it feels like to be ​”new at being old.” At first, she won­ders: Is she ready for this jour­ney toward an alien uni­verse ? She frets about what might hap­pen to her – the ​”break­down of mov­able parts” and, pos­si­bly, the ​”unrav­el­ing of my mind.” But she also cel­e­brates her vital­i­ty, cre­ativ­i­ty, and ​”rich­ness of years.” She comes to under­stand that she is join­ing a bur­geon­ing sis­ter­hood and that her new life is just begin­ning.
Women of the Baby Boom gen­er­a­tion will rec­og­nize them­selves in I’m New at Being Old and draw inspi­ra­tion and courage from this hon­est and engag­ing book.

This whim­si­cal pic­ture book for Baby Boomers has received a Mid­west Book Award and an Inde­pen­dent Pub­lish­ers Gold Award.
