Itâ€™s a new school year, and Greg Heffley finds himself thrust into middle school, where undersized weaklings share the hallways with kids who are taller, meaner, and already shaving.

As Greg says in his diary, "Just donâ€™t expect me to be all `Dear Diaryâ€™ this and `Dear Diaryâ€™ that.â€ Luckily for us, what Greg Heffley says he wonâ€™t do and what he actually does are two very different things.

Since its launch in May 2004 on Funbrain.com, the Web version of has been viewed by 20 million unique online readers. This year, it is averaging 70,000 readers a day.Â F&P level: T

For more than forty years, the books Maurice Sendak has written and illustrated have nurtured children and adults alike and have challenged established ideas about what children's literature is and should be. The New York Times has recognized that Sendak's work "has brought a new dimension to the American children's book and has helped to change how people visualize childhood." Parenting recently described Sendak as "indisputably, the most revolutionary force in children's books."

Winner of the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are, in 1970 Sendak became the first American illustrator to receive the international Hans Christian Andersen Award, given in recognition of his entire body of work. In 1983, he received the Laura Ingalls Wilder Award from the American Library Association, also given for his entire body of work.

Beginning in 1952, with A Hole Is to Dig by Ruth Krauss, Sendak's illustrations have enhanced many texts by other writers, including the Little Bear books by Else Holmelund Minarik, children's books by Isaac Bashevis Singer and Randall Jarrell, and The Juniper Tree and Other Tales from Grimm. Dear Mili, Sendak's interpretation of a newly discovered tale by Wilhelm Grimm, was published to extraordinary acclaim in 1988.

In addition to Where the Wild Things Are (1963), Sendak has both written and illustrated

The Nutshell Library (1962), Higglety Pigglety Pop! (1967), In the Night Kitchen (1970), Outside Over There (1981), and, We Are All in the Dumps with Jack and Guy (1993). He also illustrated Swine Lake (1999), authored by James Marshall, Brundibar (2003), by Tony Kushner, Bears (2005), by Ruth Krauss and, Mommy? (2006), his first pop-up book, with paper engineering by Matthew Reinhart and story by Arthur Yorinks.

Since 1980, Sendak has designed the sets and costumes for highly regarded productions of Mozart's The Magic Flute and Idomeneo, Janacek's The Cunning Little Vixen, Prokofiev's

The Love for Three Oranges, Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, and Hans Krása's Brundibár.

In 1997, Sendak received the National Medal of Arts from President Clinton. In 2003 he received the first Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, an international prize for children's literature established by the Swedish government. Maurice Sendak was born in Brooklyn in 1928. He now lives in Connecticut.

Don Freeman was born in San Diego, California, in 1908. At an early age, he received a trumpet as a gift from his father. He practiced obsessively and eventually joined a California danceband. After graduating from high school, he ventured to New York City to study art under the tutelage of Joan Sloan and Harry Wickey at the Art Students' League. He managed to support himself throughout his schooling by playing his trumpet evenings, in nightclubs and at weddings.

Gradually, he eased into making a living sketching impressions of Broadway shows for The New York Times and The Herald Tribune. This shift was helped along, in no small part, by a rather heartbreaking incident; he lost his trumpet. One evening, he was so engrossed in sketching people on the subway, he simply forgot it was sitting on the seat beside him. This new career turned out to be a near-perfect fit for Don, though, as he had always loved the theater.

He was introduced to the world of Childrens' Literature, when William Saroyan asked him to illustrate several books. Soon after, he began to write and illustrate his own books, a career he settled into comfortably and happily. Through his writing, he was able to create his own theater: "I love the flow of turning the pages, the suspense of what's next. Ideas just come at me and after me. It's all so natural. I work all the time, long into the night, and it's such a pleasure. I don't know when the time ends. I've never been happier in my life!"

Don died in 1978, after a long and successful career. He created many beloved characters in his lifetime, perhaps the most beloved among them a stuffed, overall-wearing bear, named Corduroy.

Don Freeman was the author and illustrator of many popular books for children, including Corduroy, A Pocket for Corduroy, and the Caldecott Honor Book Fly High, Fly Low.

Eric Carle is acclaimed and beloved as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for very young children. His best-known work, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, has eaten its way into the hearts of literally millions of children all over the world and has been translated into more than 62 languages and sold over 41 million copies. Since the Caterpillar was published in 1969, Eric Carle has illustrated more than 70 books, many best sellers, most of which he also wrote.

Carle says: "With many of my books I attempt to bridge the gap between the home and school. To me home represents, or should represent; warmth, security, toys, holding hands, being held. School is a strange and new place for a child. Will it be a happy place? There are new people, a teacher, classmates - will they be friendly? I believe the passage from home to school is the second biggest trauma of childhood; the first is, of course, being born. Indeed, in both cases we leave a place of warmth and protection for one that is unknown. The unknown often brings fear with it. In my books I try to counteract this fear, to replace it with a positive message. I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn. I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun."

Eric Carle has two grown-up children, a son and a daughter. He divides his time between the Florida Keys and the hills of North Carolina.

When the coronavirus hits Hong Kong, ten-year-old Knox Wei-Evans's mom makes the last-minute decision to move him and his siblings back to California, where they think they will be safe. Suddenly, Knox has two days to prepare for an international move-and for leaving his dad, who has to stay for work.

At his new school in California, Knox struggles with being the new kid. His classmates think that because he's from Asia, he must have brought over the virus. At home, Mom just got fired and is panicking over the loss of health insurance, and Dad doesn't even know when he'll see them again, since the flights have been cancelled. And everyone struggles with Knox's blurting-things-out problem.

And how do you keep a family together when you're oceans apart? Sometimes when the world is spinning out of control, the best way to get through it is to embrace our own lovable uniqueness.

I've been writing children's books since forever! (Actually, 1972.) My first book, "Baby", later retitled "Baby, Come Out," just came out in China! I love my work, and I'm particularly proud of my 45-book Katie Woo series: the first easy-to-read chapter books that star an Asian child. Now Katie's friend Pedro has his own 8-book series. A few titles are "Pedro and the Shark," "Pedro Goes Buggy," "Pedro the Ninja," and "Pedro's Big Goal" (about soccer). Eight of the Pedro stories can be read, four to a volume, in "Pedro: First Grade Hero" and "Pedro the Great." Many Pedro books are available in Spanish.

I'm also the author of "Happy In Our Skin," a bouncy, rhyming tribute to skin and to diverse families. School Library Journal calls it "a delightful feel-good story." It's available in hardcover and paperback from Candlewick and it's also available as a Scholastic paperback.

My other books include the toilet-training board books, "Big Girl Panties" and "Big Boy Underpants." They really work! "Big Girl Panties has over 850 enthusiastic reader reviews! "Big Boy Underpants," published later, has already been reprinted.

My other books include the popular new-sibling books, "Big Sisters are the Best" and "Big Brothers are the Best." They are also coming out in China!

The purpose of this picture book is to promote self-esteem and protection of boundaries.

Jenny Simmons teaches kids the importance of saying "no" in this book, whether it's to bullies, someone invading their space, or simply because they need some alone time. Through this book, kids will learn how to speak up for what's right and for themselves.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In I Can Say No , Jenny Simmons teaches children the power of the word "no." Whether it's saying no to bullying or someone invading their personal space or simply to playing with a friend when they need some alone time, children learn that they can use their voice to stand up for what is good in the world, and good for themselves.

I learned a little word, And even though it's small, When I use it with authority, I'm the strongest of them all!

NO That's right. I can say NO.

I can say no to a movie I don't like. I can say no if I'm not into riding bikes. I can say no if I want to be alone, Or I'm feeling kind of tired and would rather stay at home.

As parents and educators, we often teach children to use the word "no" when they are in danger or when someone is trying to harm them. But "no" is powerful in other areas of life, as well. Learning to say "no" without feeling guilty or needing to explain themselves gives children the power to protect their boundaries, energy, convictions, and time. Saying "no" also allows them to create space for saying "yes" to the things that matter most. By teaching children how to use this small but mighty word, they will be able to face life with confidence, independence, and a positive sense of self-worth!

Alexander McCall Smith is one of the world's most prolific and most popular authors. His career has been a varied one: for many years he was a professor of Medical Law and worked in universities in the United Kingdom and abroad. Then, after the publication of his highly successful 'No 1 Ladies' Detective Agency' series, which has sold over twenty million copies, he devoted his time to the writing of fiction and has seen his various series of books translated into over forty-six languages and become bestsellers through the world. These include the Scotland Street novels, first published as a serial novel in The Scotsman, the Isabel Dalhousie novels, the Von Igelfeld series, and the Corduroy Mansions series, novels which started life as a delightful (but challenging to write) cross-media serial, written on the website of the Telegraph Media Group. This series won two major cross-media awards - Association of Online Publishers Digital Publishing Award 2009 for a Cross Media Project and the New Media Age award.

In addition to these series, Alexander writes stand-alone books. 2014 sees publication of three new novels which fall into this area: 'The Forever Girl'; 'Fatty O'Leary's Dinner Party'; and 'Emma' - a reworking of the classic Jane Austen novel. This year there will also be a stunning book on Edinburgh, 'A Work of Beauty: Alexander McCall Smith's Edinburgh'. Earlier stand alone novels include 'La's Orchestra Saves the World' and 'Trains and Lovers: A Hearts Journey'.

Alexander is also the author of collections of short stories, academic works, and over thirty books for children. He has received numerous awards for his writing, including the British Book Awards Author of the Year Award in 2004 and a CBE for service to literature in 2007. He holds honorary doctorates from nine universities in Europe and North America. In March of 2011 he received an award from the President of Botswana for his services through literature to that country.

Alexander McCall Smith lives in Edinburgh. He is married to a doctor and has two daughters.

Smart. Lively. Cheeky. A global conversation-starter with a doppleganger Sesame Street muppet. That's Jennifer O'Toole, author of the "Asperkids" series and "Sisterhood of the Spectrum," the award-winning, best-selling autism-related book collection in the world, and the highly-anticipated "Autism in Heels: The Untold Story of a Female Life of the Spectrum," already named a "Top Amazing Feminist Book of 2018," received a starred review from Booklist, and is an Amazon #1 New Release.

At the age of thirty-five, Jennifer O'Toole was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (autism), just after her three young children had been similarly identified. It was 2011, and for the first time in her life, things made sense.

They made so much sense, in fact, that now, Jennifer is the winner of the Autism Society of America's 2014 Outstanding Literary Work of the Year and the 2012 Temple Grandin Award for Outstanding Global Contributions, was named one of the 50 Most Influential Women in North Carolina and 25 Most Amazing Autistic Women, is a recipient of GRASP's Distinguished Spectrumite Parenting Medal and the Make-A-Wish Foundation's Women Inspiring Hope and Strength Award, was named AuKids Speaker of the Year, and has been celebrated by Disney's Babble and The Mighty. She is "Ask the Expert" columnist for healthline.com, a featured columnist for Spectrum Woman Magazine, sits on the Professional Panel of the Autism Society of America, and is a go-to editorialist/columnist for Amy Poehler's girl-power juggernaut, "Smart Girls at the Party."

From her own struggles and self-discovery, Jennifer has built an empire of empowerment. She's been invited to speak on Capitol Hill, and to the President's Council on Fitness at the White House Summit on Americans with Disabilities, was the Guest of Honor of Their Royal Highnesses, the UK's Princess Sophie and Princess Marie of Denmark. She and was added to the "Who's Who" list of International Aspie Mentors - along with Temple Grandin and Stephen Shore - to contribute to Dr. Tony Attwood's "Been There. Done That. Try This." anthology. Jennifer's unique "have a cup of coffee with me" conversationalist presentation of useful insights has touched hearts, lightened spirits, and broadened minds around the world.

Jayneen (aka Jay Dale) is an experienced primary school teacher, editor, author and publisher.

She started her teaching career in the 1980s as an elementary school teacher in rural Queensland, Australia. She then moved to Victoria and taught at a number of inner-city schools.

In 1985, Jay had a change of career and became an educational editor and publisher.

In the early 90s, Jay and her partner moved to Japan to work as English teachers. They lived and worked in Japan for over three and a half years. In fact, Jay's first daughter was born there.

On returning to Australia, Jay began work as an educational author/packager. Since that time, she has authored and produced numerous award-winning titles for the educational publishing industry. Jay is also an accomplished children's book author, writing a number of titles for such literacy series as ZigZags, Totally Kidz, Deadly and Incredible, and a children's picture book series for Penguin.

During 2008 and 2009, Jay returned to teaching. That experience refreshed her understanding of issues facing children, teachers and parents.

She is currently working with an educational publisher as lead author of a new literacy series. Jay has written over 100 titles in that series.

More importantly, Jay is a mother of three teenage girls and has been a school councillor at her local primary school for over seven years. This time spent in primary schools both as a teacher and a parent inspired her to ask the question of her community: 'What are we doing in schools to protect our children from sexual interference?' When she realised very little was actually being done, she decided to use her authoring and publishing skills to write books to help parents, carers and teachers to broach the subject of self-protection and to encourage children to speak up.

I grew up in Havertown, Pennsylvania, where I wrote and illustrated my first book in the third grade. SUPER COW! was a smash hit both with critics (my teacher) and collectors (my parents).

When I was twelve years old, my family moved to Florida. My parents tried to get me and my two brothers excited about our move by buying us season passes to Disney World. I loved watching the animators at work on the Backstage Tour, and I decided I wanted to work for Disney when I grew up.

I attended the Rhode Island School of Design, but soon found myself drawn back towards illustration instead of animation. After graduation and a slew of ill-fated careers (including a portrait artist on a Carnival Cruise ship and a conductor of illegal tours through the Vatican Museums), I began working as a book designer with a children's book publisher in New York.

I live in Pennsylvania with my husband, son, and surly cat Sharon.

The twins Maureen and Francine Carter are best friends. They collaborate on all of their school projects together, take part in the same clubs, and eat the same meals. However, Francine transforms into Fran right before the girls enter sixth grade. She wants to join the chorus, stand for class president, and wear stylish clothes that make her stand apart from Maureen. A child who appears content to take her sister's two lessons together!There's nothing Maureen can do to stop Francine and herself from becoming more and more distant. Are sisters truly lifelong friends? Will things change permanently after middle school?

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Gr 3-7-The start of sixth grade has not been smooth sailing for identical twins Francine and Maureen Carter, who are both Black. Francine, "the talker," is eager for new challenges and experiences and more time away from her sister/best-friend-oh, and she goes by "Fran" now, please. Meanwhile, Maureen, "the thinker," misses dressing alike and having all her classes with her twin, and is especially intimidated by the lunchroom and Cadet Corp. When Maureen discovers that the girls' separate classes are due not to a scheduling error but to Francine's interference, her anger spurs her to action and she challenges her sister by running against her for student council president. As the girls develop campaign strategies and try to best each other, will they permanently ruin the bond they once had? The twins' transforming relationship captures all the fraught possibilities of adolescence-the fear of change and the excitement of potential. A fully realized array of friends and family who help with (and occasionally add to) the drama create a world that readers will wish they were a part of. Wright's colorful artwork brings this endearing cast of characters to life with a dynamic range of expressiveness that suits the story's emotional highs and lows and many warm laughs.

Being a big sister excites Raina. However, after Amara is born, things don't go exactly as planned. Amara is adorable, but she's also a grumpy, irritable baby who likes to play alone herself most of the time. Over the years, their relationship doesn't really get better, but when their baby brother comes along and later, they notice that something isn't quite right between their parents, they realize they need to work on getting along. I mean, they are sisters.

Raina tells the story of her relationship with her sister, which takes place during a road trip from their San Francisco home to a family reunion in Colorado, using her trademark charm and humor in both present-day narrative and well-placed flashbacks.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Sisters is an autobiographical graphic novel written by Raina Telgemeier as a follow-up to her earlier graphic memoir Smile. It details a long summer road trip taken from San Francisco to Colorado by her family and explores the relationship between Raina and her younger sister, Amara.

Raina Telgemeier submitted a storyboard/thumbnail draft to her sister three years before the novel's publication, seeking Amara's consent to tell the story as Raina recalled it. Amara provided insights on some of the vignettes and helped Raina develop a second draft.

The panels were colored by Braden Lamb.

The book received positive reviews. Maya Van Wagenen, reviewing for The New York Times described the story as "[one] we have all lived [...] uncomfortable yet transcendent" and added it was "a quick read as well as a fun one." Kirkus Reviews called it "a winner," "laugh-out-loud funny [...] and quietly serious all at once"; later, Kirkus designated it one of the best books for children in 2014. According to School Library Journal, "[r]eaders will be very satisfied". Horn Book Magazine gave it a starred review in 2014.

In 2015, Telgemeier won an Eisner Award for Best Writer/Artist, citing Sisters. It was also named to the Young Adult Library Services Association's 2015 shortlist of Great Graphic Novels for Teens, and a 2015 Association for Library Service to Children Notable Children's Book for Middle Readers.

As of 2017 the paperback version had spent 117 weeks on The New York Times Best Sellers list under the category "Paperback Graphic Books."

# data[].attributes.body
This book on growing from your mistakes and learning from them should be read by every teacher, student, and perfectionist! The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes is a fantastic resource for learning about growth mindset.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
"this book might be one way to help them see that trying to be perfect can get in the way of having fun and being creative, and that absolutely no one is perfect.

The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes is a fun book with an important message that never gets in the way of the good story. Elementary age children are sure to both enjoy and benefit from this delightful book." ― Wrapped in Foil

"I hope that there are more Beatrice Bottomwell stories on the way because my girls will enjoy them tremendously!

Thank you Mark Pett and Gary Rubinstein for teaching the kids that you don't have to be perfect all the time!

We love this book! " ― Supermom Reviews

"This book has become one of our favorite books to read together my girls and me. I would love to thank Mark Pett and Gary Rubinstein for such an inspiring story.

I love this book... I feel it really helps to teach children, and maybe even remind adults that no matter how perfect someone may seem, that really every one makes mistakes." ― Real Adventures from a Mom of 3

"The best part of this book was the message sent. That you don't have to be perfect, that making mistakes is okay and you sure can have a lot more fun if you allow yourself not to worry so much about messing up.

Overall this is a great book that I'm sure my children will enjoy for the next several years." ― Candace's Book Blog

"There are about a hundred ways the story of a perfect child could go wrong. Fortunately, Mark Pett and Gary Rubinstein don't fall into any of the traps. Instead, they offer a delightful picture book about a girl who has perfected perfectionism. Flawless." ― Argus-Leader

"I have to say, I was really impressed by this book. The story is cute and the illustrations are beautiful. Most importantly, it was a hit with the kids." ― The Suburban Princess Diaries

"If there is one book you read to your little ones this year - this is it!!!

And this book is perfect for showing them how mistakes can be normal AND even funny!! Pett's illustrations are wonderful at capturing the feelings of the kids in the book - they are simple and yet full of emotion.

Thank you, Pett and Rubinstein, for showing us perfectionists that it's ok to NOT be perfect all the time!! Where was this book when I was a kid anyway!?!?!?" ― In The Pages

"It's fun and instructive without feeling overly didactic and the illustrations are darling. Look for it in a book store or library near you. " ― Parenting

"this book was not only a great fit for my children to learn from, but me too. Let's face it we all make mistakes and we all need to learn how to deal with that. I make plenty...daily. My kids are young and I want them to learn it's ok." ― Giveaway Blogdom

"I love the latest picture book, THE GIRL WHO NEVER MADE MISTAKES by Mark Pett and Gary Rubinstein.

This is a great book to remind us that we all make mistakes and when we do, we need to just sit back and laugh. After all, perfect is boring!" ― Lori Calabrese

"The lively wash drawings carry the story along briskly while the cartoon-like inner panels add depth and a side story." ― Deseret News Girl Who Never Made Mistakes by Gary Rubinstein and Mark Pett is cute and simple book.

This book is cute for boys and girls alike." ― Frugal Family Tree

"The book's message is unmistakable (so to speak), paired with a subtler reminder of how easy it is to have one's confidence shaken." ― Publiishers Weekly

"Suffice to say, this is an excellent tale on how having a fear of failure leads very quickly to a very boring life - Feel the Fear and DO IT ANYWAY as I tell my kiddos. Making mistakes is NOT the end of the world, but a way to learn. Excellent book - I highly recommend it." ― Did you see that? by CPA Mom

" In an age when parents berate teachers who dare to give out B's and children receive blue ribbons just for entering an art show, Gary Rubinstein's tale of a 9-year-old perfectionist is a refreshing fable that assures kids it's OK to mess up once in a while -- but doesn't beat them over the head with the moral. Mark Pett's gentle cartoon illustrations liven up even more the story of an ordinary-looking girl who clings to her image of being anything but ordinary." ― OregonLive.com

"This funny and heartfelt book conveys a powerful message about how putting too much pressure on yourself to be perfect can suck the joy out of everything. Beatrice's discovery that you can laugh off even a very public mistake shows the importance of resiliency and help perfectionist kids keep things in perspective. Most importantly, Beatrice reminds the reader that it's more important to enjoy the things that you do than worry about doing them perfectly." ― A Mighty Girl

"A refreshing fable that assures kids it's OK to mess up once in a while ― but doesn't beat them over the head with the moral.

The mom's take: Gary Rubinstein's tale of a 9-year-old perfectionist is a refreshing fable that assures kids it's OK to mess up once in a while ― but doesn't beat them over the head with the moral. Mark Pett's gentle cartoon illustrations liven up even more the story of an ordinary-looking girl who clings to her image of being anything but ordinary.

The kid's take: When my 7-year-old son...finished, he sat with a thoughtful look on his face for a moment -- then reopened the book to read it through again. If that's not a recommendation, I don't know what is." ― The Oregonian Parenting Blog

Lion on the Inside: How One Girl Changed Basketball (CitizenKid)

# data[].attributes.body
The narrative follows Bilqis as she reaches maturity and her devastating choice to give up on a future as a professional basketball player since the regulations once again forbid her from donning a headscarf. After years of activism on the global scene on behalf of young Muslim women, Bilqis succeeds in getting the rule reversed. This picture book biography, coauthored by award-winning author Judith Henderson and Bilqis, is written in free verse with a voice that perfectly catches the cadence of the game. It is both a love song to the sport of basketball and an uplifting tale of how one person can make a difference. Katherine Ahmed's vibrantly colored graphics give the narrative even more emotional depth.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A Muslim American girl at the top of her game makes a difficult choice in this powerful and beautifully told true story about breaking barriers.

Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir was born to play basketball. At three, she has her own hoop. By seventeen, she's the star player on her school's varsity team. On the day of the playoffs, though, the referee says she can't play while wearing her hijab. Her teammates refuse to play, the crowd shouts its support and the referee relents. With that game, Bilqis becomes the all-time lead scorer in Massachusetts State history and goes on to play college ball, where she is the first woman to play in a hijab in the NCAA - she even plays basketball with President Obama at the White House!

The story follows Bilqis into adulthood and her heartbreaking decision to walk away from a professional basketball career when the rules once again won't allow her to wear a hijab. Bilqis becomes an activist, fighting for years on the international stage advocating for young Muslim women, and eventually the rule is overturned. Written in free verse in a voice that captures the cadence of the game, this picture book biography, coauthored by Bilqis and award-winning writer Judith Henderson, is both a love poem to the sport of basketball and an inspiring story about how one person can effect change. Richly colored illustrations by Katherine Ahmed add further emotional depth to the story.

This book will spark discussions about respect, beliefs, values, culture and discrimination. Back matter includes biographical information, photos and a list of sources for further exploration. Lion on the Inside is the first book in the CitizenKid collection that is geared to younger readers ages 5 to 8.

When two buddies go on a quest for butterflies, they wind up entangled in a mathematical web! In this exciting new adventure, award-winning author Barbara Mariconda writes in rhyme and narrates the story of Rose and her buddy Ed as they compete to discover who can catch the most butterflies. "How many altogether? "Let's include them once more!" exclaim the butterfly hunters. Who is going to prevail? Ten for Me incorporates a little bit of the natural world into cross-curricular teaching while making math simple, accessible, and enjoyable.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Barbara is the award-winning author of scores of books for adults, young adults, and children, including an Edgar nominated middle grade novel, a picture book that was a National Best Books and Children's Choice finalist, a Moonbeam Award Gold Medal winner, including The Voyage of Lucy P. Simmons which Kirkus Reviews praised for its "dramatic and visually stunning" prose. She has also authored a multitude of professional books for teachers and has presented to thousands of educators across the U.S. and Canada. Her trilogy published by HarperCollins titled The Voyage of Lucy P. Simmons and her young adult novel Bird with the Heart of a Mountain (Skyscape Books) delve into themes of family, love, and death, exploring the edges and undercurrents of life that can be sensed and experienced, but never grasped - the stuff of mystery, magic, and spirituality. In writing Bird with the Heart of a Mountain it was a haunting Gypsy melody that first captured the author's imagination, that drew her to Jerez, Spain, and into Drina's world.

Barbara is an accomplished pianist and singer, and, as a child, played a mean accordion! She's sung in the Crypt of St. Peter in the Vatican, in a top forty band, and made a recording with Big Bird! An avid traveler, Barbara's ridden a camel in the Sahara, a rickshaw in Tokyo, a hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings, a dogsled in Alaska, climbed the Great Wall of China, kissed the Blarney Stone, soaked in the waters of Lourdes, and sailed in a gondola in Venice. Her heart is in liturgical music, having served as music director at St. James Parish in Stratford, CT for over fifteen years where she was a recipient of the St. Augustine Medal of Service Award for leading the St. James Community of Faith closer to God through song.

Barbara's latest book, "After the Diagnosis...A Guide for Living" which she co-authored with the Reverend Thomas F. Lynch, is the result of a seven year collaboration that was informed and inspired by the work Fr. Tom embraced with parishioners and their loved ones walking the final journey together. The book is subtitled, "The Transformative Power of Love During Sickness, Dying, and Death." This is a recurrent theme that runs through Barbara's work, and a driving force in her life. It is about faith and healing, about freedom and the transformation of self. Barbara believes that "After the Diagnosis...A Guide for Living" is really a book about living life fully, freely, and lovingly, right up until the moment of death.
