Barboria Bjarne is a freelance writer and artist. When not writing or painting, she works on her urban homestead. ‘Grayson and the Crumbly, Grumbly, Rumbly Cookie‘ is her second picture book, published in March 2015, written in prose and accompanied by delightful illustrations in gouache. She also wrote and illustrated ‘Quanny and Danny’, her first picture book in verse about a cute little puppy, raised by a goose, published in February 2014.

She knew from a very young age that writing would always play an important part in her life. She realized that a well-written word brought needed knowledge, sometimes an unexpected awareness and ability to understand, or often just sheer enjoyment,  and wanted to contribute to the wealth of the world's perspectives.

 

She is currently working on several projects: a short story collection, a book of poetry, and the first draft of a nonfiction book. She is also illustrating another charming story for her third children's picture book.

​

She likes to experiment with various writing styles and techniques. She is never afraid to tackle any project or find new, creative ways to come up with something fresh and original.
