Big Bad Barry and Friends

Meet Big Bad Barry and his friends through a light-hearted tale of life under the sea.

Big Bad Barry is a children’s suspense, thriller picture book that can be enjoyed by all ages. 

Artist and Author Linda Rae grew up on a farm in the Fitzgerald Biosphere.  The coast and fishing were an integral part of days off, and Dad was always happiest after a big catch.   When he challenged Linda with marking his new boat shed with his unique humour, Big Bad Barry was born.

Discover the mural that spawned a vision for an arts festival to support the Fitzgerald Biosphere, which this book is a pilot and fundraiser for.
