Julia Cook was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. While living in Utah, she became actively involved in teaching children how to ski. That experience led to a love of teaching in general.

Julia now lives with her husband and three children in Fremont Nebraska. She has a Master's degree in Elementary School Counseling. While serving as a guidance counselor, Julia often used children's books to enhance her classroom lessons. The goal behind Julia's books is to actively involve young people into her fun and creative stories and teach them to become "better." Inspirations for her books come from working with children and carefully listening to parents and teachers.

In her spare time, Julia enjoys spending time with her husband and three children.

All of Louis' thoughts are very important to him. In fact, his thoughts are so important to him that when he has something to say, his words begin to wiggle, and then they do the jiggle, then his tongue pushes all of his important words up against his teeth and he erupts, or interrupts others. His mouth is a volcano! My Mouth Is A Volcano takes an empathetic approach to the habit of interrupting and teaches children a witty technique to capture their rambunctious thoughts and words for expression at an appropriate time. Told from Louis perspective, this story provides parents, teachers, and counselors with an entertaining way to teach children the value of respecting others by listening and waiting for their turn to speak.

A Bad Case of Tattle Tongue gives teachers and counselors a humorous, cleverly creative way to address the time-consuming tattling-related issues that often sap classroom energy and thwart teaching opportunities. Parents who "battle the tattle" at home, on the playground, in the grocery store, or anywhere else, can use this book to both entertain and enlighten their children about "The Tattle Rules." Every adult that desires to help children understand the differences between unnecessary tattling and the necessity of warning others about important matters needs this book!

PERSONAL SPACE, OUTER SPACE...WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE? IN THE CASE OF JULIA COOK S LATEST BOOK, THE DIFFERENCE IS A RIOT.
