Barney the Barnacle is a stunningly illustrated picture book about how music makes us feel

No matter what, no matter how, Barney will not be moved Barney is completely unbothered by everything that happens around him. He will not play with the fish, he won't listen to the birds and he won't even move when the sea and the sky cause a big storm. He can't be moved. Until a shipwrecked band washes up onto his rock and they begin to play . . . A breathtakingly illustrated story about the power of music and how it moves us.

"A barnacle who clings to a rock day in and out is the unlikely hero of this picture book. [...] Carrilho's vibrant, kinetic art, with saturated neon colors in watery swirls, is immersive. [...] A low-key story with high-octane art that celebrates the power of music." - Kirkus Reviews

"This book is breathtaking, the illustrations carry the reader away, the words move us." - Postbag Picks
