Julia Cook

Julia Cook, M.S. is a award-winning children’s author, counselor, and parenting expert. She has presented in thousands of schools and speaks at education and counseling conferences nationally and internationally. Julia has published almost one hundred children’s books on a wide range of character and social development topics, and regularly contributes to print and television media about these topics. The goal behind Cook’s work is to actively involve young people in fun, memorable stories and teach them to become lifelong problem-solvers. Inspiration for her books comes from working with children and carefully listening to counselors, parents, and teachers, in order to stay on top of needs in the classroom and at home. Cook has the innate ability to enter the worldview of a child through storybooks, giving children both the “what to say” and the “how to say it.”

This fun book assists children in starting on the pathway of being college and career ready. Julia Cook creatively presents the Career Clusters and skills that are needed for all career choices. These skills are the same skills that children need for their “current job” of being a student. Being responsible, having self-confidence, being a team player, being honest, cooperating with others, and personal hygiene are among these skills.
