Barlow, Collette: - Collette Barlow has had a passion for art since holding her first crayon. She is a wife and mother to two not so young children and one scruffy pooch. Collette has always had a creative mind and became inspired to start writing and illustrating children's books to bring out the magic and adventurous spirit in children. With her books, parents/guardians are able to be involved in the fun with bonus recipe pages.
