Barbara Crispin

Barbara Crispin grew up in the farm country of central Maryland. She is a middle child in a family of nine. Her interest in picture books was evident early on.

“My father thought I was an early reader. When I was four, I memorized ‘This Is The House That Jack Built’ including the proper page turns and read it to my younger sisters.”

Barbara is still reading to others as a library associate happily planning story times and programs for Anne Arundel County Public Library in Maryland.
