Barb Rosenstock is an American children’s author (born April 1st, 1959). She is most well known for her books The Noisy Paint Box: The Colors and Sounds of Kandinsky’s Abstract Art, Otis and Will Discover The Deep, and Vincent Can’t Sleep.
Early Life
Ever since she was a child she was interested in history which inspired her career later in her life. She kept to this passion until the beginning of her literary career. Contradictory to this, in university, she majored in psychology. She states that she “loved history, social studies, theatre, and music”, yet she “was a psychology major in college, and worked in corporate marketing and communications” until she realized her passion for writing.[1][2]
Early Career
When she finished university and earned her BS in Psychology (Loyola University), she spent around 20 years as a creative manager in the marketing and corporate graphic design sectors. She went on to student teach and earn her MAT in Elementary Education (National Louis University).[1][2]
Literary Career
As a teacher and mother, she enjoyed reading to her students and her two sons, which made her passionate about picture books. She states that “my two sons were my original inspiration”. This led her to join SCBWI, a society of children’s authors, and start writing her books.[1] Her works have gained praise for illuminating the lives and events of historical figures, artists, and more in a form fit for children as said by School Library Journal in a review for Thomas Jefferson Builds A Library, “It is no small feat to entertain children in a book about loving books, but this duo [Barb Rosenstock and her illustrator, John O’Brien] succeeds admirably”[2][3]
