McClintock, Barbara

Award winning illustrator and author Barbara McClintock is the illustrator of Jim Aylesworth’s THE GINGERBREAD MAN, which has sold over 3 million copies worldwide and inspired gingerbread cookie eating around the globe. Barbara’s most recent books are THREE LITTLE KITTENS, which she wrote and illustrated, and her illustrated titles NOTHING STOPPED SOPHIE; THE STORY OF UNSHAKABLE MATHEMATICIAN SOPHIE GERMAIN, TOMFOOLERY! RANDOLPH CALDECOTT AND THE RAMBUNCTIOUS COMING-OF-AGE OF CHILDREN’S BOOKS, and WHERE ARE YOU, BRONTË?, the last complete manuscript written by Tomie dePaola. Barbara lives in CT with her partner the illustrator David Johnson and their 2 nonsensical but well-meaning cats.
