    Biography

    Barbara Joosse is the author of more than 30 books for children, which have been translated into 24 languages. She is a native of Wisconsin, currently living in Cedarburg, and she attended UW-Madison. Joosse and her husband Chuck have 3 grown children, Maaike, Anneke, and Rob, and two dogs, Nugget and Poppy.

    Joosse was not always a fan of books and libraries, until she first read the Eloise books — about children who were naughty and nice. Joosse also eventually discovered that libraries were more than places where you were supposed to be neat, and quiet, and not giggle — they are places where kids can find out about whatever they want.

    Joosse has won many awards for her children’s books, including: 10 Best Illustrated Books, New York Times; Best Picture Book Text, Society of Children’s Book Writers; New York Library Association Top Book of the Season; Chicago Library’s Best; ABC’s Best Books for Children;  New York Library Association Best of the Season;  Chicago Libraries Best; CCBC 2005 Choices; Book of the Week, Booklist; and Kansas State Reading Circle’s  recommended list.
