Award-winning children’s book author and illustrator Barbara McClintock draws like a dream; her ‘beautifully restrained use of color may evoke a long-ago time, but her compositions are so dynamic that there’s always something for contemporary children to discover.’
— Michael Cart, Booklist
‘Full of humor and wit and strong characterizations, her books are timeless charmers.’
—The New York Times Book Review
