Summary: Exclusive Club
Comment: Although Ms. Hubbard has some interesting insights about the challenges of being both a mother and a creative professional, I was repeatedly put off by her characterization of people engaged in "traditional professions" either as not creative or as trampling in her territority by suggesting that they might pursue a dream in a creative field. For example, in a self-described "rant," Ms. Hubbard complains about lawyers and doctors who have suggested to her that they might be interested in writing a novel or a screen play. Ms. Hubbard countered with a suggestion that she might as easily perform surgery or argue before the Supreme Court.
While on one hand Ms. Hubbard criticizes the "mommy wars" between stay-at-home mothers and mothers who work outside the home, she creates an equally deep chasm between those who she deems to be "creative mothers" and everyone else. I was hoping to find a book encouraging mothers to pursue their creative dreams, and instead I found an effort to keep interlopers out of her turf.

Summary: Finally.. ..
Comment: This book is so refreshing. A must for woman who are both artists and mothers. Or woman who are not yet participating in their artistic side. Buy it for your artist friends that are pregnant so that when they give birth, they will have the perspective that you not only can, but must nurture that artistic part of yourself. This book not only affirms but provides helpful advice to the artists, writers, playwrites, acting teachers , who, now that they are a mother, should stop their 'nice creative hobbies" and be a mother. Ms Hubbard's Big Purple Mommy says in order to BE a great mother, you need to honor the whole of your artistic being.

Summary: Great!
Comment: If you liked Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" and what it has to say about America, then you'll love "Big Purple Mommy" by Colleen Hubbard.
It's a celebration of the American Spirit, as true today as it was in '69.
Look out America, here comes your new book on mothering!
