Kevin Barry has lived most of his life surrounded by fur balls, literal and metaphorical. Some of these feline friends curl up nightly at his feet. Others purr softly in his heart and memories. When not rescuing mouse-shaped toys from the depths of the couch, Kevin can be found at the drawing table or the white board, teaching kids about the many magical storytelling tools of writers and illustrators. He lives near Boston, Massachusetts. Visit Kevin at kevinbarryillustration.com.
