HARDCOVER Author & Illustrators: Terry Fan, Eric Fan & Devin Fan The Barnabus Project is a breathtaking picture book about courage, friendship, and the right to be yourself. Set in a dazzling yet unsettling world where children can buy genetically engineered “Perfect Pets,” the story follows Barnabus - a small, hopeful creature who has been labelled a Failed Project simply because he isn’t perfect. Hidden deep underground in a secret lab, Barnabus and his misfit friends live in bell jars, dreaming of a world they’ve never seen. Barnabus longs for freedom and for a place where he can belong just as he is. When the Failed Projects are threatened with being “recycled,” Barnabus knows there’s no time to wait. With bravery, teamwork, and a little trunk full of determination, he leads his friends on a daring escape toward the unknown. The Fan Brothers, joined by their brother Devin, create a richly imagined world filled with stunning, cinematic illustrations and emotional depth. The story gently explores big ideas - identity, acceptance, and the meaning of perfection - in a way that young readers can understand and feel. Perfect for sharing and discussing, The Barnabus Project is a magical and moving picture book that celebrates difference and reminds us that true perfection lies in being kind, brave, and true to yourself.
