Lindsay Barrett George’s books have received NSTA/CBC Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children awards, American Bookseller Pick of the Lists selections,

‘One Book Every Young Child’ initiative, and Maggie’s Ball was a Bank Street College

Lindsay has been a faculty at several writing workshops at the Highlights Foundation
in Boyd’s Mills, PA, sharing the platform with Deborah Underwood, Judy Schachner,
Linda Oatman High and Kim Griswell. Lindsay is one of the co-founders of Authorfest,
an annual book festival held in Hawley, Pa.

Lindsay began her career in the children’s book field as a book designer in a New York city publishing house. She’s combined a fine arts background with her graphic design experience to produce books that, hopefully, make the animals that she cares about
come alive for children. Lindsay enjoys speaking and sharing with booklovers of all ages, but has a particular passion for leading family drawing workshops.

Lindsay has doodled the animals outside her home in New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts and Wisconsin, but is presently doodling the critters outside her 1898
red-brick schoolhouse in White Mills, Pennsylvania.
