Julia Cook Books

Julia Cook was born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah. While living in Utah, she began 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.” In addition to writing, she also does keynotes and inspirational talks for children and adults.
