When Barnet is under contract for a picture book, her initial efforts are geared to setting up scenes and character poses for her first sketches. Once the sketches are complete, Barnet and her editor discuss possible changes before the final art is drawn. She usually spends five hours per day at the drawing table in her Elk Grove home. Barnet is constantly surprised by the misconception that children’s picture books are easy to create—it takes her roughly ten months to illustrate one book. “Good children’s books—the ones that last for generations—are jewels that take about as much work as it takes to turn coal into diamonds!” As the instructor for “Illustrating Children’s Books” (Sacramento Learning Exchange), and a frequent speaker at Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators events, she reminds would-be writers and artists that the competitive children’s book industry is not for those “of wimpy spirit and thin skin.”

Barnet had an excellent chance to equalise two minutes later when a cute header from Liam Hatch sent Puncheon clear in the left-hand channel. Almunia was out quickly to smother the shot.

By virtue of their Premier Division positions in seasons 1977-8 and 1978-9 Barnet were given a place in the newly formed Alliance Premier League. In the first three Alliance seasons, Barnet just avoided relegation, but in 1982-3 they finished 15th and a year later 9th. Then in 1984-5, when it looked like Barnet would face relegation, manager Barry Fry left to take charge at Maidstone United. The season was resurrected under the guidance of ex-player Roger Thompson losing only one of their remaining thirteen league games.
