Who is Rosie?
Is she a fun-loving rhinoceros who is always up early and ready to greet the day? Or is she a magical unicorn who skips through the savannah on her dainty hooves?
Either way she's perfect.
Jimmy Barnes is a Scottish-born rock singer-songwriter who grew up in Adelaide. His career, both as a solo performer and as the lead vocalist of the legendary band Cold Chisel, has made him one of the most successful and distinctive artists in Australian music history.
A prolific songwriter and performer, Jimmy has been a storyteller for more than 40 years, sharing his life and passions with Australians of all ages at over ten thousand gigs throughout his adopted homeland.
In the process he has amassed more #1 albums in Australia than the Beatles: four with Cold Chisel and eleven as a solo artist, including the iconic For the Working Class Man. Across his career Jimmy has sold over 12 million albums and he has been inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame twice.
Jimmy lives in New South Wales, with Jane, his wife of 36 years, their children, grandchildren and two schnauzers. As well as writing and recording new music and touring virtually non-stop, he is currently working on the second volume of his memoirs.

Rosie The Rhinoceros is a board book for young readers written by Australian singer/musician and award-winning author, Jimmy Barnes. It is illustrated by Matt Shanks. Rosie has an irrepressible zest for life, for the beauty of the morning, for everything that surrounds her, and she happily shares her enthusiasm with those she meets in the savannah: the giraffes, the monkeys, the zebras, the lions, the elephants, and many more.
But when they refer to her as a rhinoceros, she corrects them: “’Look at this pretty horn’ she laughed. ‘And can’t you see my dainty hooves? Everyone knows that unicorns have dainty hooves!’” That’s certainly who she sees reflected back at her in the water. Rosie asks the elephant to call the other animals to the waterhole so she can correct their perception.
Mat Shanks’s cute and colourful illustrations enhance this sweet and joyful little book about being yourself. Jimmy Barnes has proven, with music, memoir, cookbooks and books for children, that he has more than one string to his bow. Delightful!
