Short biography
Judi Barrett has written a number of award-winning children's books.   Most of her days are filled with dreaming up ideas for more books, but she also writes freelance book reviews and teaches art to young children.

Her brownstone in Brooklyn is filled with lots of antiques, tons of plants, and a refrigerator full of good things to eat.   [adapted from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (1978)
