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