Julie's Bio:
Julie Olson has been working in the children’s book industry for over 20 years now, first as an illustrator then adding author to her credentials, as well, with the debut of Tickle, Tickle! Itch, Twitch! in 2010. She followed that up a few years later with Discover America: From Sea to Shining Sea and continues to write and illustrate as much as possible. She began the pursuit of an MFA degree this past fall and is enjoying the other forms of creative expression and academic growth that provides. When not in the studio, you can find Julie either on her bike, hiking in the mountains, or spending time with her husband and four kids.
