Episode 87: Julia Cook – Raising Lifelong Problem Solvers

57 min • 7 juni 2022

Julia is nationally recognized as an award-winning children’s book author and parenting expert. There is probably a book that Julie has authored that tackles an issue or a subject that you are hoping to work on with your children. She has presented in thousands of schools across the country and abroad, regularly speaks at national education and counseling conferences. She has published nearly 100 children’s books with a wide range of characters and social development topics. Her books showcase her innate ability to enter the worldview of a children who can then use her storybooks to grow. Julia gives children both the “what to say” and the “how to say it.”

What I love about Julia is her biggest goal is to find a creative way to give children the tools to be life long problem solvers.
