✨ Introducing the Wisdom of the Woods Fine Art Print

This magical illustration of Very Small Town’s forest librarian—a wise, book-rooted queen of knowledge who guides young Blue and his crew—has been lovingly reproduced as a limited edition fine art giclĂŠe print, numbered and signed by me.

Only 100 prints exist in the world.

Each 8" × 10" print comes with an 11" × 14" mat, ready to frame and gift.
Each is printed on archival HahnemĂźhle Photo Rag paper and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

Perfect for kids’ rooms, classrooms, nurseries, teacher and librarian gifts or anyone who loves inspiring curiosity and exploration.

Get to Know Travel Tree

With leaves shaped like a globe and roots that grow from books, this Forest Librarian is a guiding source of knowledge and appears in every Bear in a Bow Tie picture book. She never gives Blue and his crew the answers outright—she gently points them in the direction where they can discover the truth for themselves.

Inspired by the educators and librarians who sparked my own curiosity, she represents the gift of learning and the joy of asking “why?”

I hope you’ll consider sharing her with a favorite young explorer, teacher, and librarian—anyone who inspires wonder in the hearts and minds of those around them.

So much to update you on! Here’s a snap shot from our Hudson Valley Halloween. My rule is if you don’t pick your costume before the day of Halloween, then I get to pick it for you. The result is the photo on the right!

Oh, and we are living in Canada most of the time for Gary’s new Ronald D. Moore series, God of War. I’ll let you in on a secret—it’s going to be spectacular.

I’ll include more in the next (pre-holiday) update.
Gobble, Gobble and Happy Thanksgiving, xx Barry
