Author, Illustrator, and Crazy Ideas
Joey Walter Barnard
Children's picture book author and illustrator Joey Barnard is excited about the fun farm animal characters and the adorable cow stories presented in the From The Cows (FROMTHECOWS) series.
Joey is driven to simplify the lessons in life into 40 page children's picture books that can teach and inspire children (and maybe remind us adults) to focus on what really matters in the world.
Joey is a CPA, an avid traveler, baseball fan and former United States Marine.
From Joey: I have always been a storyteller and lately I have become a formal writer of my stories. I am eclectic in my genres – children’s book stories, science fiction stories, crime noir stories. I have always enjoyed reading good stories and I hope I am getting better at writing them. I would love to hear comments and feedback.
