WELCOME

I'm
pleased you've found your way to my website.
Come on in and poke around!
You'll find out lots of stuff about me, my books,
and the cat who inspired me to look, leap and learn
in my journey as a writer for children.
Cheers,
Barbara Jean Hicks
Still a kid at heart.

FALL/WINTER 2011
I'm in transition, traveling a lot between Port

school visits and bookstore events on a limited basis in Southern/Central
California, Western Washington, and the Portland, Oregon area; please
contact me to see if we can coordinate
schedules.
