"A charming story of a wonderful boy and his beloved dog, Bark and Tim is written with loving detail by the Glassman sisters. At the same time, Bark and Tim offers an introduction to the authentic Mississippi folk art of Tim Brown. The result is a rich blending of talents that is a celebration of Americana at its best."

"The paintings are very engaging and remind me a lot of the work of the Louisiana artist Clementine Hunter. Tim has a natural talent for telling the story with very few details. I think you have a winner."
