Barry Moser

Barry Moser is one of the most sought after children’s book illustrators today. He has illustrated more than 200 books for children and adults including: Jump Again!, and The Further Adventures of Br’er Rabbit, which was named by the New York Times as one of the Ten Best Illustrated Children’s Books of 1987. His collaboration with Cynthia Rylant, Appalachia, the Voices of Sleeping Birds, won the prestigious Boston Globe Horn Book Award in 1991, and his collaboration with Ken Kesey, Big Double the Bear Meets Little Trickster the Squirrel, was named one of the best books of 1990-91 by the International Board of Books for Young People (IBBY) of Zurich Switzerland. Grandpa’s Gamble, his 1999 collaboration with R. Michelson Galleries owner Richard Michelson, received a starred Booklist review, which noted,

The sepia tone illustrations on handmade paper are as plain and beautiful as the words in this moving story. They capture the tough immigrant culture as well as the intimate bonds of love and faith across generations.
