Barbara Joosse
Best-selling, award-winning author of children’s books.
“Picture books are my first and greatest love. I can’t imagine my life without creating little gems that make you laugh and sigh. I write books that are funny and serious, books that star animals and kids, historical fiction, travel and magical realism.
I’m like a ‘Cabinet of Curiosities,’ filled with interesting, quirky things.”

Gentle but fierce—an empowering tale of adventures and care.” Kirkus
