As a child, Wendy Rouillard had a stuffed bear named Barnaby that had also been her grandmother’s and mother’s. Years later, while a student at Parsons School of Design, she fell in love with Nantucket and decided to create a book about Barnaby, a Nantucket Bear. 20 years later, still living on the Island, Wendy is raising two daughters and has published many Barnaby books.
