Reviews
Praise for Barbara Reid:
*"Picture book illustration can, at its finest, transport you right into the heart of a story's emotion and momentum. How anyone can achieve that transmogrification with the lumpish medium of Plasticine is an artistic mystery [but] Toronto-based artist Barbara Reid obviously owns the key." --Quill & Quire, starred review
"Reid's attention to detail ensures that even for adult viewers, there's always something new to notice." --The Toronto Star
"Reid makes the known seem almost startlingly new with her gift for observation, detail and humour." --Canadian Children's Book News
