Meet Daisy Book

Barbara once began a children’s book to tell the story of the pets her children had when they were growing up. The characters in that book may someday appear in her art. But for now, one of her favorite subjects is Daisy, the family dog, a Welch Corgi. Each painting of this curious, playful, and expressive dog can tell its own story.

As a grandmother, Barbara decided to produce a wordless picture book from which children could make up their own stories about Daisy. Or parents and grandparents could make up stories for the children. It is hoped that the book, Meet Daisy, when published, will bring many hours of joy to children and parents, helping children develop creative story telling skills in the process.

The book may also help young children learn to organize their thoughts, think about the world around them, and ponder the relationship between elements of the paintings and elements that may be out of site. Watch for the book to come soon.
