A Graduate of Cooper School of Art, Barb has been Senior Designer at American Greetings for ten years. Her bright, colourful, clean line images are much-sought-after for children's book illustrations and education materials.
This is Barb's First book project with J.R.Poulter. Their second book collaboration was "Look Alikes." It will be republished later this year in a first Australian edition.
The liveliness and fun in Barb's deceptively simple illustrations may be because, in her other life, Barb is an actress on stage and in film!

Review:
"What a wonderful way for little ones to practise their emerging understanding of animal and sound association, learn the courtesy of greetings, as well as exposing them to the power of rhyme."
