"Glamourous Garbage" children's book written, illustrated and signed by author: Barbara Johansen Newman

In “Glamorous Garbage” Bobbie has the same problem I did as a little girl. Maybe she is even worse than I was!  And cousin Joanie is losing her patience with Bobbie’s mess. It was knowing what I was like as a little girl that inspired me to write this story about Bobbie and Joanie and the BIG MESS. The fun part is that Bobbie (with some help from her Mom) gets to fix the problem of her room in a very creative way…with lots of stuff she finds in the same way I find things today: dump, flea markets, yard sales, and thrift and antique shops.
