On the day before her 11th birthday, Julia wrote in her journal, “I would like to be an author and illistrator (sic) when I grow up.” Now, with her author/illustrator picture book debut I AM STUCK to be published by Clarion in spring ’23, Julia is proud to say she has accomplished that goal (and even improved her spelling). She is also an art teacher, mom, and avid knitter. Her perfect afternoon would involve iced coffee, freshly sharpened pencils, and the sandy beaches of Southern New Jersey that she calls home.
