"Hi,  my  name  is  brynne.  I  dream things.  And then  I  do them."

  Since Brynne was a child, she was determined to fly; reading and writing
has always made her feel like she could. In classrooms all over the country --
and the world -- she likes to remind young readers that they, too, have wings.

Her debut book, Colors of Me (Sleeping Bear Press, 2011), is a 2012 Gelett Burgess
Award Winner, a 2012 Friends of American Writers Literary Award Winner, and
an Award-Winning Finalist in the Hardcover Fiction Category of the "2011 Best
Books" Awards sponsored by USA Book News.

Brynne’s most recently released  picture book, the “clever, magical” 2016 ABC
Best Book for Young Readers, Books Do Not Have Wings (Sleeping Bear Press, 2016), is
available now.​

Her latest picture books, sold as a two-book deal, are slated for release by Chronicle Books TBA.

"Brynne   Barnes’ story  of  publication   will  leave  you   feeling   inspired  and  wanting  more.   Trust  me,  if  you  love   books   and   write   books   or   plan   to   write,   her story   will   resonate   with   you." -- The Brown Bookshelf, "28 Days Later"

 on diversity in literature:

"I don't think that anyone should  underestimate
the importance of all children being able to see themselves in the literature intended for them
-- to identify with characters that look like ​them
and ones that don't.  I think there's a dire need
to see more diverse characters portrayed in
stories that are not necessarily about "race"
or "multiculturalism," for example, but that 
we encounter and accept these differences
among characters in stories, as we do in our
everyday lives -- as natural elements of the
world we live in. Our societal fabric consists
of a cornucopia of people, familial structures,
​and religious and ethnic backgrounds; I would
love to see the stories that we tell reflect this.
