Barbara Hart has been writing songs for most of her life. As an admitted "word-a-holic" ... she thinks "lyrics rule!" While living in Nashville, Barbara, along with other writers, received a Grammy nomination for "Little Sleepy Eyes," a collection of lullabies. Barbara was twice nominated for an Emmy, creating clever questions - or answers - for the TV-game-show "Jeopardy!"

Barbara has found her niche with her mixed-media children's books featuring "Octopus Rex" and his friends. Each book features an adventure of "Octopus Rex," with song lyrics that compliment the story-line. Plus each book includes a CD for Sing-A-Long fun.

Octopus Rex titles to date include: "Tex Rex: Octopus Rex Rides the Range;" "Octopus Rex at the Zoo;" and "The Adventures of Octopus Rex." Barbara plans many sequels.

Barbara Hart lives in Palos Verdes, California with her cat, Waylon.

She DOES NOT OWN an octopus--OR so she claims!
