Barry Lewis

Barry Lewis is a first-time children's author whose greatest inspiration comes from his two sons and grandchildren. Growing up, children's books were an important part of spending quality time with his boys, and creating special gifts to be handed down with quality story telling. Years of curiosity, laughter, love of animals, especially his yorkie named Belladonna and boundless imagination motivated him to create Bella Boo, a story that celebrates playfulness and wonder. Writing this book has been a heartfelt journey, and Barry hopes it sparks joy for families and encourages children to see the magic in everyday life, as well as encourage them to learn new words along the way. He looks forward to exploring more storytelling in the future, with book 2 now written and awaiting illustration and book 3 in complete outline form.

Per latest editorial review: "Who is Bella Boo? is a heartwarming and beautifully illustrated tale that invites young readers to see the world through the eyes of an adventurous teacup Yorkie, reminding us all that curiosity, kindness, and a wagging tail can turn everyday moments into magical memories." – NewInBooks
