Wendy wrote her first Barnaby Bear book for her senior thesis while attending the Parsons School of Design. Her entrepreneurial spirit was strong even then as she hand-sewed 200 Barnaby Bears to market along with 3,000 copies of his first adventure, which she wrote and rendered. The books and bears were an instant hit and Barnaby was off to meet the world. Her growing business was built from nothing but the belief that children need this comforting furry companion to learn about life. Her board books are a primer to help little ones navigate and understand new experiences and the accompanying emotions. In a time when even grown-ups are adjusting to our strange, new world, Barnaby is a timeless, consistent and loyal companion.

Barnaby Bear Creator Wendy Rouillard in The Authors Alley on Word of Mom Radio

Sometime around mid-March, my Earth Mother alter ego kicked in and has since gone into overdrive. Every few days, a malodorous smell wafts from the kitchen—that's the sourdough starter telling me it's ready for attention. I've lost count of how many pics of flowery-patterned loaves I've posted on Instagram. Gone are the bookish images and texts that filled my feed pre-COVID. If I can't eat it, grow it, or walk it, the image isn’t getting posted. I'm not saying my bibliophile persona has gone AWOL. Instead, I'm on a rereading binge; a compulsive need to be comforted by characters dear to my heart and familiar faraway lands. This episode took me to Nantucket, Massachusetts, a place I’d love to visit. I chat with Wendy Morton, owner of Mitchell’s Book Corner, and local children’s author and illustrator, Wendy Rouillard. Here’s a list of links, authors, and books mentioned in this podcast.·      Mitchell’s Book Corner &amp; Nantucket Bookworks·      Nantucket Chamber of Commerce·      The Second Story Loft·      Maria Mitchell·      Nathaniel Philbrick·      Elin Hildebrand·      Nancy Thayer ·      Steven Axelrod·      Isabel Wilkerson – author of Caste·      Ibram X.
