WELCOME
TO MY VIRTUAL HOME
I'm
pleased you've found your way to my website.
Come on in and poke around!
You'll find out lots of stuff about me, my books,
and the cat who inspired me to look, leap and learn
in my journey as a writer for children.
Cheers,
Barbara Jean Hicks
Still a kid at heart!
NEW!
STUDENT PUBLICATION PROGRAM
I've started a new business.
The mission of
Class Act Creative is to give young authors and artists a chance to see their work in
print. If you're looking for a way to
improve K-5 student academic skills while encouraging creativity and
self-expression—and
boosting self confidence—this
is it. My micro-mini print-on-demand press, designed to publish student art
and writing, has affordable programs for
elementary schools and districts to publish student
work in a trade quality paperback book. Nonprofits also welcome. Visit the
Class Act Creative website for more
information.
